Jaber Rajabi is a former official in more than one Iran-backed Iraqi militia. In addition to his role in training militias with the support of the IRGC-Quds Force, he worked as a coordinator between some Iraqi factions. In 2016, Rajabi defected from the so-called Axis of Resistance and became a vocal opponent of the Islamic Republic’s policies in the region as well as its domestic policies. In recent years, Rajabi has emerged as an active political analyst appearing on Persian-language news channels operating outside Iran.
