Alaeddin Boroujerdi (born 1950) is the Chairman for the Committee for Foreign Policy and National Security of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran.
In October 2011, he was arrested for embezzlement but was released after 24 hours thanks to mediation from Ali Larijani. He denied corruption charges. However, he has been pressured to resign because of the controversy.
In November 2011, he asked that the British Ambassador to Iran, Dominick John Chilcott, be sent back to the United Kingdom.
He is a supporter of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and has accused Esfandiar Rahim Mashai, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's chief of staff, of leading a "deviant current" against the regime.
