Historical Note The Iran Freedom Foundation (IFF) was formed in Bethesda, Maryland in . Prior to establishing the IFF, the organization's founder and president, Ali Akbar Tabatabai worked as director of the Foreign Relations Department of the Ministry of Information in and press attaché at the Iranian embassy in Washington, D.C., in the final years of the Shah's reign and under the leadership of Ambassador Ardeshir Zahedi (1977-1979). Ali Akbar Tabatabai was assassinated in July 1980 by Daoud Salahuddin (David Belfield) at the front door of his home in Maryland. After his assassination, Ali Akbar's identical twin brother, Mohammad Reza, took over the operations of the IFF. The IFF supported a secular democracy in Iran and actively opposed the Islamic fundamentalist regime of Ayatollah Khomeini. Both Ali Akbar and Mohammad Reza frequently appeared on television and radio programs to promote awareness of human rights violations in Iran. In addition, the IFF disseminated information about Iran to members of the U.S. House and Senate as well as to members of the general public who wrote to the foundation with questions about Iran. The foundation worked closely with Iranian nationalist groups overseas, most notably Chapour Bakhtiar's National Movement of Iranian Resistance and Bahram Aryana's Azadegan. Source: "Iran Ex-Attaché, Khomeini Foe, Slain in the U.S." New York Times, , 1980 Scope and Content of Collection The collection relates to the Iranian revolution of 1979, subsequent political conditions and civil rights abuses in Iran, the Iran-Iraq War, Iranians in the United States and elsewhere, and American foreign policy toward Iran. It contains correspondence, press releases, appeals, clippings, speeches and writings, financial records, reports, bulletins, newsletters, pamphlets, serial issues, photographs, sound recordings, and videotapes. The collection includes some personal papers, 1966-1980, of Ali A. Tabatabai, founder of the organization, and material relating to his assassination. The majority of the collection consists of clippings, subject files, and printed matter relating to political and social events within Iran and surrounding countries, Iranian foreign relations, and the experiences of Iranian émigrés in the United States. Among these materials are volumes of photocopied clippings from Tabatabai's time as press attaché for the Iranian embassy in Washington, D.C., covering the critical months leading up to the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran, November 1978 to . Subject files also contain clippings, press releases, and speeches relating to the assassination of Ali Akbar Tabatabai.

Preliminary Inventory of the Iran 93035 2 Freedom Foundation records Following Ali Akbar Tabatabai's assassination, the Iran Freedom Foundation held several political rallies from 1981 to 1983 in support of secular democracy in Iran. While subject files contain flyers and speeches from these events, the publicity files include drafts of speeches and writings, press releases, and background information on the foundation's activities. The Iran Freedom Foundation sponsored one of the first anti-Khomeini Persian-language radio programs in the United States on WLMD radio in Maryland. Referred to as both the Iranian Hour and Iran Freedom Movement radio, the program was used as a forum to disseminate information about Iran and unite Iranian émigrés in the United States. The collection contains recordings of broadcasts as well as radio program materials in the form of notes, research headlines, clippings, and financial records. Sound recordings are identified in the container list by their labels. However, the contents of the sound recordings may not match their labels.
