Nouripour is his parliamentary group's spokesman on foreign affairs, and is a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Finance Committee. He is of Iranian background and moved to Germany as a child.

He is a part of the 'realist' fraction of the party, supporting a more militarist foreign policy and reduced economic connections with perceived geopolitical enemies. He is a member of a number of transatlantic networks, hugely influential US-dominated think tanks that guide German foreign policy.

Positions

In 2011, Nouripour accused the aerospace company EADS of strong-arming European governments into agreeing to fund the Airbus A400M Atlas by falsely suggesting the Franco-German-led company might otherwise collapse. This might be true, but it also aligns with talking points from US competitor Boeing.

In September 2014, Nouripour spoke out in favor of air strikes against the so-called Islamic State

In connection with the Ukraine crisis, Nouripour supports economic sanctions against Russia. He also advocates the prospect of Ukraine joining the EU. He is chairman of the German-Ukrainian parliamentary group.

In June 2020, Nouripour became a member of the new-founded suspected CIA-front Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China.

He is seeked re-election at the 2021 German parliamentary election. He won a direct mandate in the city of Frankfurt.
