Alaeddin Boroujerdi (Persian: علاءالدین بروجردی) (born 21 March 1951) is a member of the Iranian parliament since 2024. He was also a member of parliament between years of 2000 to 2020. He is former Chairman for the Committee for Foreign Policy and National Security of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran.[2]

Overview

In October 2011, he was arrested for embezzlement but was released after 24 hours thanks to mediation from Ali Larijani.[3] He denied corruption charges.[4] However, he was pressured to resign because of the controversy.[5]

In November 2011, he asked that the British Ambassador to Iran, Dominick John Chilcott, be sent back to the United Kingdom.[6]

He is a supporter of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, and in 2011, he accused Esfandiar Rahim Mashai, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's chief of staff, of leading a "deviant current" against the regime.[4]
