He had defected to United States in about 1998 and then returned to Iran in 2005. While in U.S. he spoke out against the regime and embarrassed his father.
Apparently he died the night before the big explosion. Coincidence?
Maybe.....

Mohsen Rezaei is the secretary of Iran’s powerful Expediency Council, and a council’s official has told Mehr News Agency that Ahmad Rezaii’s death in Gloria Hotel is “suspicious.”

He might have been killed by the dear leader Khamenei in order to put pressure on Mohsen Rezaei.
