Progress Party (Iran)
Progress Party or Party for Progress () was a fascist political party in Iran led by Abdolhossein Teymourtash, described as the "spurious" party of government and functioning as a "vehicle for executing royal intentions" of Reza Shah. Modeled after Mussolini's National Fascist Party and Atatürk's Republican People's Party, it subscribed ideas similar to the short-lived New Iran Party. With the fall of Abdolhossein Teymourtash in late 1932, the party soon melted away and was outlawed on the grounds that it harbors republican sentiments.
