islamic iran participation front

The Islamic Iran Participation Front (جبهه مشارکت ایران اسلامی in Persian) is a reformist political party in Iran. It is led by Secretary-General of the party, Mohammad Reza Khatami (the brother of Mohammad Khatami, the fifth President of Iran). Founded in late 1998, the main moto of the IIPF is "Iran for all Iranians" (ایران برای همه ایرانیان in Persian). While still backing Islam, the state religion of Iran, the party is among the evangalizers of democracy in Iran. In 2004, Mohammad Reza Khatami, along with other prominent members such as Elaheh Koulai, Mohsen Mirdamadi, and Ali Shakouri-Rad were barred from standing in parliament elections by the Council of Guardians. The decision center of the party is the Central Council, which has thirty members. For current list of the members, see list of the members of Islamic Iran Participation Front's Central Council.
