Association for Defence of Islamic Revolution Values (Template:Lang-fa; Jam`īyat-e Defā` az Arzeshhā-ye Enqelāb-e Eslāmī) was a neo-principlist[4] political party in Iran, founded by Mohammad Reyshahri.[3] The party was defeated in the 1996 parliamentary and the 1997 presidential elections.[1]
The party's line was similar to those of the Combatant Clergy Association,[5] and its core members were former counterparts of Reyshahri at the Ministry of Intelligence.[1] Ali Akbar Aboutorabi Fard, Ruhollah Hosseinian, Mohammad Shariatmadari, Ahmad Pournejati and Ali Razini were among notable members.[2]
