Iran's oldest woman dies at 125, according to her identity papers. Masoumeh Saneï Toroghi would have been born on September 23, 1898.
She would have died at an older age than that of Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment. But her status as the dean of humanity was not recognized by Guinness World Records. The oldest of humanity is currently the Spaniard Maria Branyas Morera, who will celebrate her 117th birthday on March 4. In Iran, the State began to issue a family record book from 1918, 20 years after the presumed birth.
