Iran
Index
Many of the opposition parties that were suppressed inside the
country were reorganized abroad. In 1987 more than a dozen
political parties were active among the Iranian exile communities
in Western Europe, the United States, and Iraq. All of these
parties belonged to one of four broad ideological groups:
monarchists, democrats, Islamicists, and Marxists. With the notable
exception of the Mojahedin and the ethnic Kurdish parties, the
expatriate opposition parties eschewed the use of political
violence to achieve their shared goal of overthrowing the regime in
Tehran.
