  Jafar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jafar is a fictional character, voiced by Jonathan Freeman, in the Disney film Aladdin and its sequel, The Return of Jafar.
Jafar had transformed himself into a giant cobra to kill Aladdin, but just as Jafar was squeezing him to death, Aladdin tricked Jafar into using his third and final wish to become a genie himself.
The name Jafar seems to be derived from character named Jafar or Giafar in tales of the Arabian Nights, who is the Vizier to Caliph Harun al-Rashid; this character in turn was based on a real-life official, the son of a Vizier who was killed for supposedly having an affair with Harun al-Rashid's sister.

Jafar Dhia Jafar, who ran Iraq's nuclear program from 1982 on, revealed new details of his country's dealings with U.N. inspectors in a telephone interview yesterday from the United Arab Emirates, where he now lives.
If Jafar is right, the U.N. inspectors had detailed evidence to rebut the arguments about Iraqi WMD made in the intelligence dossiers compiled by Britain and the United States that were a main justification for their March 2003 invasion.
Jafar's story reinforces one theme of the unfolding Iraqi WMD saga: Even for intelligence analysts and U.N. experts, facts could not be disentangled from expectations.

But Mr Jafar said that production figures were exaggerated, and the inspectors' estimates merely reflected the difference between existing materials and the inflated figures.

 Aladdin II & III Collection (The Return of Jafar & Aladdin and the King of Thieves) DVD Review
Return of Jafar picks up right where the first film left off, and proceeds by adhering to a similar formula, down to the use of certain musical numbers very similar to Aladdin's which fit right into place where they did before.
Having been outwitted in the predecessor's finale, the heinous Jafar and his obnoxious parrot henchman Iago are cursed to remain in the magic lamp in a distant desert.
When all is considered, The Return of Jafar remains watchable and likable in a way similar to much of Disney's animated TV fare of the early-to-mid '90s.
