The Front of Islamic Revolution Stability (Persian: جبههٔ پایداری انقلاب اسلامی, romanized: Jebha-ye pāydārī-e enqelāb-e eslāmī, also translated Persevering Front,[6] Endurance Front,[7] Steadfast Front[8] and Paydari Front[9]) is an Iranian principlist political group described as "extreme end of the fundamentalist camp" and "Iran’s most right-wing party".[9]

The group was established as an electoral list for the 2012 legislative election. The front is partly made up of former ministers of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Taqi Yazdi is said to be the "spiritual leader" behind the group.[10]

The front declares that it stands against both "sedition" (2009 Iranian presidential election protests) and the "deviant current". Rajanews website is its online mouthpiece.[1]

Views

The Economist described them as "Shia supremacists who oppose any kind of compromise with anyone inside or outside Iran".[11]

The group's influence extends to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), where they've strategically positioned clerics and commanders who share their hardline ideologies. Many of the recent generation's commanders have undergone extensive training at summer camps conducted by clerics from this group.[11]

History

[edit | edit source]

In 2013, the front supported Saeed Jalili for president after Kamran Bagheri Lankarani's withdrawal,[citation needed] and it released electoral lists for local elections in several cities, with a landslide victory in Mashhad City Council.[12]

In recent years, the group has been influential in passing new laws, such as chastity laws, and in attempts to reinstate the mandatory hijab, which had seen a de facto suspension following widespread protests in 2022.[11]
