“The Trump administration broke the international consensus around Iran that took years to build,” said Suzanne DiMaggio, senior fellow at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “I think this will go down as an epic strategic blunder during the Trump Era.” DiMaggio was speaking on NIAC’s recent panel examining current and future U.S. policy toward Iran, entitled “A Maximum Pressure Exit Strategy: Can the U.S. Save the Iran Nuclear Deal Before it’s Too Late?” Joining DiMaggio as panelists were Jamal Abdi, President of NIAC, and Joe Cirincione, President of the Ploughshares Fund. Sanam Shantyaei, Senior Journalist at France 24, led the panel as moderator.
واشنگتن د‌ی‌سی – جمال عبدی مدیر سازمان نایاک در واکنش به تصویب قانون تبعیض آمیز ایالت فلوریدا که هدف آن محدودکردن فروش املاک و مستغلات به اتباع «کشورهای مدنظر» از جمله چین، روسیه، ایران، کوبا، کره شمالی، ونزوئلا و سوریه است بیانیه زیر را صادرکرد:

Washington, DC – The National Iranian American Council issued the following reaction to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s comments that Israel has “freedom of action” to respond to Iran’s nuclear program, implying a green light for military strikes: “The Biden administration should not be in the business of recognizing ‘freedom of action’ for a foreign […]
NIAC condemns the passage of SB147 in the Texas State Senate. This discriminatory bill targets an entire class of immigrants at a time when Iranians inside Iran are protesting their authoritarian government and dying for freedom, it’s particularly insulting for the Texas State Senate to signal that Iranians in the U.S. should have less rights than their peers.
پس از پخش یک برنامه ۶۰ دقیقه‌ای از بخش فارسی شبکه تلویزیونی صدای آمریکا که به دروغ سازمان غیرانتفاعی و مدنی ما را به عنوان “لابی جمهوری اسلامی” معرفی کرده بود، نایاک پیگیر اقدام قانونی علیه صدای آمریکا و خواستار حذف ویدیوی مورد نظر از پلتفرم های این رسانه و پخش ویدیو با اطلاعات درست و همچنین عذرخواهی این رسانه شده است. صدای آمریکا در این گزارش سراسر کذب خود خبرنگاران و قربانیان دیگر جمهوری اسلامی را هم به لابی‌گری متهم کرده است.

After NIAC initiated legal efforts to demand a retraction, correction, and apology from Voice of America, the U.S. Agency for Global Media has confirmed to NIAC that the broadcast has been removed from VOA platforms. This follows the recent airing of a 60-minute program by VOA Farsi that falsely defamed our grassroots U.S. civil society organization as “lobbyists for the Islamic Republic”, and also leveled these outrageously false smears against journalists and victims of the Islamic Republic.
Every year, NIAC Action looks to our members to guide our advocacy priorities and goals for the year. This year’s survey results will inform NIAC’s organizational mandate and guide us to champion policies that support both Iranians and the Iranian-American community during this crucial time.
After decades of lobbying on the issue, the Office of Management and Budget has officially proposed a significant change to the 2030 U.S. Census with the creation of an individual MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) category.
