Alaeddin Boroujerdi(Persian: علاءالدین بروجردی) (born 1950) is a member of Iranian parliament and 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 has been 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 accused Esfandiar Rahim Mashai, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's chief of staff, of leading a "deviant current" against the regime.[4]
