Iranian Principlists
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Principlists (Persian: اصولگرایان; Osul-Garâyân), or Iranian Conservatives, are one of two main political camps inside post-revolutionary Iran, the other being Reformists. Within Iranian politics, a principlist refers to the conservative supporters of the Supreme Leader of Iran and advocates for protecting the ideological principles of the Islamic Revolution’s early days.[3]
A declaration issued by The Two Societies, which serves as the Principlists "manifesto", focuses on loyalty to Islam and the Iranian Revolution, obedience to the Supreme Leader of Iran, and devotion to the principle of Vilayat Faqih.[4]
The Principlists currently dominate the Islamic Consultative Assembly, the Assembly of Experts and several City Councils, as well as non-elective institutions such as the Guardian Council.[4]
