Peykar Party (Template:Lang-fa) was a small nationalist organization in Iran during 1940s. The party denounced the reign of Reza Shah and it condemned the presence of the Allies on Iranian soil.[3]
According to L. P. Elwell-Sutton, the party was composed of intellectuals, and at some time was sympathized by figures such as Hossein Ala and Isa Sedigh.[5]
Its organ "showed inclinations in favor of Nazi Germany",[3] while the party "tended towards France, and against the soviet Union".[4]
