About IARC Texas
Our Mission
Empowering Iranian Americans Across Texas to be Republican
The Iranian American Republican Council of Texas (IARC Texas) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit political organization dedicated to uniting Iranian Americans in Texas around shared conservative values. Our mission is to foster civic engagement, promote Republican principles, and amplify the political voice of our community at the local, state, and national levels. We believe in free markets, limited government, strong national security, individual liberty, and the rule of law. As proud Iranian Americans and proud Texans, we are committed to protecting the freedoms and opportunities this great state and nation provide — and to preserving them for generations to come.
Conservative Values
We stand for limited government, free enterprise, individual rights, and a strong national defense.

Our Leadership
Abteen Vaziri
Chairman & Founder
Abteen Vaziri is a Dallas-based businessman, attorney, and congressional candidate who knows firsthand the consequences of Islamic rule. Born in Iran, he and his family fled the Islamic regime, escaping a system built on oppression of basic freedoms.
The experience didn't just shape his life; it drives his mission. Vaziri has built a successful career in finance, real estate, and law, but today he's stepping forward to sound the alarm: the same failed ideologies he escaped are now being implemented in the greatest country in history under the guise of acceptance and correctness.
Ben S. Pamenari
President
Born in Iran and raised with a deep appreciation for the American Dream, Ben has called Texas home for more than 40 years. As a proud Texan, he embodies the values of hard work, opportunity, and service.
Ben earned a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and a Master’s in Business Administration before receiving his Doctorate in Law from Texas Tech University. His academic background laid the foundation for a successful career dedicated to helping individuals and small businesses navigate complex issues. His real-world experience gives him a practical, results-oriented perspective on the issues facing our State today.
Ben Pamenari is committed to bringing common-sense solutions, integrity, and strong leadership to our communities. As an American who has lived the immigrant success story, he understands the importance of family, economic opportunity, and the rule of law.

Adam Majorie is an executive and political operator with more than a decade of experience at the intersection of business, government, and public policy.

A lifelong Republican with deep roots in party organizing, campaign operations, and conservative coalition building, Adam has spent his career converting membership into political power.

Adam brings to IARC Texas the operational discipline, political instincts, and government affairs expertise to build an organization that Iranian American conservatives in Texas can be proud of — and that Texas Republican leadership will take seriously.
