Islamic Iran Solidarity Party (Persian: حزب همبستگی ایران اسلامی; Hezb-e Hambastegi-e Iran-e Eslami) is an Iranian reformist political party founded in 1998, by 10 members of Parliament of Iran. The party is a member of Council for coordinating the Reforms Front[4] and publishes newspaper Hambastegi. Ali Asghar Ahmadi is the General Secretary, an office previously held by Ebrahim Asgharzadeh and Mohamadreza Raahchamani.[1] They have supported Mohammad Khatami in 2001 election, Mehdi Karoubi in 2005 and Mir-Hossein Mousavi in 2009.[3]
The party had some 50 seats in the Iranian Parliament during 2000–2004 and its fraction was headed by Qorban-Ali Qandahari.[5]
Platform[edit]
The party's platform embraces pluralism and freedom of speech while favouring mixed economy.[3] Its agenda is very similar to those of Islamic Iran Participation Front and the only difference between the two parties seems to be over "personal conflicts for leadership".[6]
