I am an Iranian citizen. I have personally witnessed the overwhelming impact of corruption, impunity, and abuse of power committed by Iran's ruling establishment. These actions directly impact lives, causing widespread suffering for ordinary people while those in power evade accountability.

My deep concern arises from the fact that Erfan Danesh Jafari, the son of Davoud Danesh-Jafari, is employed at a U.S. financial institution. His father, Davoud Danesh-Jafari, holds a position on Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and is a former senior economic official. These close familial ties to Iran’s ruling establishment necessitate a careful examination of Erfan Danesh Jafari's employment to ensure compliance with U.S. laws, sanctions, and security standards.

The very system that manipulates power in Iran should not have a direct influence or access to sensitive positions within the U.S. financial sectors. We have laws and regulations in place to prevent such potential breaches due to the serious implications it can have on national security and international relations. Allowing individuals, especially those with such direct connections to Iran’s senior officials, to hold these positions abroad feels like enabling the very same system to escape accountability.

We urge U.S. authorities and financial regulators to conduct a thorough review of Erfan Danesh Jafari's background and his current employment status in compliance with U.S. regulations. This review is essential for ensuring that the sensitive sectors of our economy aren't unwittingly compromised.

This petition doesn't arise from a theoretical perspective but from a personal concern for the integrity and responsibility we must uphold. Lives are affected by the unchecked control of power. This is not just about compliance but about protecting systems from exploitation.

Please join me in safeguarding not only our systems but the principles of accountability and justice. Sign this petition and encourage a necessary examination of this deeply concerning matter.
