20:46Now PlayingDespite his track record of glorifying Hezbollah and antisemitism, radical Shia Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi, who has a long history of ties to the Iranian regime, met with democratic Congresswomen Debbie Dingell and Rashida Tlaib at his religious institution, the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn. Elahi previously served as the head of the Iranian Navy’s political-ideological office and has met directly with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. He is widely viewed as a key mouthpiece for Tehran in the U.S., using his platform to amplify the regime’s anti-Israel propaganda and promote its terror proxies. In a post following the meeting, Elahi claimed “community members voiced their deep frustration over Israel’s violations” and demanded the Congresswomen condemn Israeli actions in Lebanon. Elahi praised the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as “a day of victory for morality, truth, justice, and humanity,” and has openly celebrated those who “sacrificed in Lebanon and Yemen” for the Iranian-backed cause. Despite these extremist positions, Elahi has repeatedly met with senior U.S. officials—including Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, and John Kerry—exposing a troubling disconnect between America’s stated opposition to terrorism and the political normalization of one of Islamic Republic’s most vocal supporters in the U.S.
