Parcham (Parcham Party)

The Parcham ("Flag") Party was a political group in Iran founded in 1960 by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and others who supported modernization and reform within the government. It aimed to promote national unity and progress while working within the monarchy's framework. The party was part of the ruling elite that sought to balance traditional values with modernization efforts. Parcham later became associated with the broader political landscape leading up to the Iranian Revolution, acting as a moderate opposition to more radical groups. Overall, it played a role in Iran's political developments during the 1960s and 1970s.
