National Iranian American Council

The National Iranian American Council (NIAC; Persian: شورای ملی ایرانیان آمریکا) is a lobby dedicated to the pursuit of what it describes as the interests of Iranians and Iranian Americans.

NIAC's first president, Trita Parsi, is the group's co-founder. As of 2018, the organization's president was Jamal Abdi. NIAC Action PAC is its affiliated political action committee and was formed in 2015.

NIAC has lobbied against the initiation of military conflicts by the United States against Iran and for an end to sanctions on Iran. It supported the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreement between Iran and the United States in 2015 that gave Iran sanctions relief in exchange for Iran's pledge not to develop a nuclear weapon. NIAC's activities have been controversial, with various political figures and commentators, as well as some members of the Iranian diaspora, labeling it a front for the Iranian government. NIAC members dispute the accusations, citing their criticism of the Iranian government's human rights abuses.
