Media Availability with Iranian Policy Expert Alireza Jafarzadeh

WASHINGTON, D.C, June 28, 2021 - Deputy Director of the National Council of Resistance of ’s Washington office Alireza Jafarzadeh is available for print and broadcast interviews to discuss Iran’s recent election, its implications for the longevity of the regime, and its foreign relations.

Ebrahim Raisi will become Iran’s new on August 3. The regime is spiraling downward because Iran’s economy is reeling, corruption is rampant and its people are disillusioned - as demonstrated by the historic low voter turnout. Jafarzadeh makes a compelling case that the regime is unstable. Of Raisi, Amnesty International said, “That Ebrahim Raisi has risen to the presidency instead of being investigated for the crimes against humanity of murder, enforced disappearance and torture, is a grim reminder that impunity reigns supreme in Iran.”

Next month, Jafarzadeh’s National Council of Resistance of Iran will take center stage at the Free Iran World Summit 2021: The Democratic Alternative on the March to Victory.

Jafarzadeh is an Iranian policy expert who has been on the forefront of efforts to ensure that the Iranian regime does not acquire nuclear weapons. In 2002 and 2003, his exposes led to the discovery of illicit nuclear development sites in Iran, including the uranium enrichment facility, the Arak heavy water facility, the Kalaye Electric centrifuge testing facility near Tehran, and the Lashkar Ab’ad laser enrichment facility. These revelations triggered inspections of Iranian sites by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Jafarzadeh is an experienced analyst with decades of television and radio experience, including . CBS Evening News. CNN. MSNBC. CNBC. C-Span. Bloomberg TV. Wall Street Journal TV, France 24, and AP TV.
