Encyclopedic overview

Saeed Jalili (Persian: سعید جلیلی; born 6 September 1965) is an Iranian ultra-conservative politician and diplomat, who has been a member of the Expediency Discernment Council of the System since 2013. He was both chief nuclear negotiator for Iran and secretary of the Supreme National Security Council from 2007 to 2013. His tenure as chief negotiator on Iran's nuclear program was characterized by his uncompromising approach.

He was deputy foreign minister for European and American Affairs from 2005 to 2007. Jalili was later an unsuccessful candidate for president of Iran three times; in the 2013 Iranian presidential election (placing third), in 2021 (he ultimately withdrew), and in 2024 (he was defeated by Masoud Pezeshkian in a runoff election).
