Organization of Revolutionary Workers of Iran – The Worker’s Way (O.R.W.I; Persian: سازمان کارگران انقلابی ايران – راه کارگر, romanized: Rāh-e kārgar) is an Iranian Marxist-Leninist political organisation formed in 1978, by former affiliates of other leftist groups. It is currently exiled in Germany.
The organization was critical of other leftist groups, including Tudeh Party, factions of People's Fedai Guerrillas and Peykar. However, it did not have a broad power base like its leftist rival.[2]
It considered the post-revolution establishment a "fascist" regime, while respecting the clergy for its ability to mobalize the masses. In 1981, some of leading members were executed, including ʿAlī-Reżā Šokūhī, Ḥosayn Qāżī, and Mahdī Ḵosrowšāhī.[2]
