Iran-e-No Party

Iran-e-No Party (Persian: حزب ایران نو‎, romanized: Ḥezb-e Irān-e Now, lit. 'New Iran Party') was a short-lived fascist[1] anticlerical party in Iran, founded by Abdolhossein Teymourtash in an attempt to form a one-party state[2] which mobilized support for Reza Shah, but soon was replaced by its offshoot the Progress Party.[3]

This party did not last long. It incorporated most existing parties and became unwieldy as the aspirants to office were eager to join it. Within a few months, it caused a moribund inside the party and a turmoil outside to oppose it, eventually leading to its dissolution.[4]
