Islamic Iran Nation's Union Party or Nation's Union Party (Persian: حزب اتحاد ملت ایران اسلامی, Hezb-e Ettehad-e Mellat-e Iran-e Eslami) is an Iranian reformist political party founded in 2015.[2]
In January 2015, it was confirmed by the Ministry of Interior that it had received a request for a permit to establish a new political party. The reformists had carried out some six similar initiatives for party formation in the past six months.It was officially given permission on April 20, 2015.[3] The party’s declaration mentions that "a group of the nation’s children have gathered with the intention to take a new step toward the ideals of the revolution and the demands of the reform movement based on the constitution and the nation’s rights mentioned in its third chapter."[4]
Most members of the party are former members of Islamic Iran Participation Front, banned in 2009.[1] The party was accused of being a "front" for the banned Islamic Iran Participation Front,[3] which was denied by the party.[5]
The Central Council of the party consists of 30 members, including Gholamreza Ansari, Hamidreza Jalaeipour, Fatemeh Rakeei and Jalal Jalalizadeh. Emadaddin Khatami, son of Mohammad Khatami, is also a member.[6]
