Nation Party of Iran
Party of the Iranian Nation is a small opposition party in Iran advocating establishment of a secular democracy. Although the party is technically illegal, it still operates inside Iran.
Founded in 1951 by Dariush Forouhar, the party had a few hundred members, mostly high-school students, and was a member of National Front until the Iranian Revolution; however, it did not carry much weight in the leadership of the front. The party proposed rebuilding Iran by regaining its lost territories in Bahrain, Afghanistan and Caucasia. Its platform was: anti-capitalism; anti-communism; anti-monarchism; anti-Semitism; anti-Bahá'ísm; anti-clericalism.
Popular among high school students in Tehran in the 1950s, the party's membership never exceeded a few hundred people.
