The Charter &
Goals of Iran National Front
The liberation struggles of the Iranian people to establish democracy in
our country had begun since the constitutional movement (1905) and after
70 years of struggles was able to overthrow the dictatorial monarchical
system in 1979. The era witnessed the struggles for the Constitution and
reached heights of success in nationalizing our oil under the leadership
of Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh and after that the widespread, persistent and
glorious struggles of the Iranian people to overthrow the monarchy with
the hope of establishing democracy was a long journey that took only 70
years.
The glorious revolution in February 1979 instead of establishing and
expanding of democracy resulted in the establishment of dictatorship and
reaction by the Islamic Republic regime, which imposed horrendous
tyranny and economic backwardness on the Iranian people.
The Iran National Front had always played an effective and progressive
role ever since the struggle to nationalize our oil and the struggle
against the tyrannical rule of the Pahlavi dynasty. We are determined to
continue our historical and national duty to renew our struggles and we
are determined to continue this struggle until our people succeed in the
struggle against incumbent dictatorship and establish democracy in Iran.
The Iran National Front uses the lessons of struggles of the Iranian
people in the past 100 years to renew our political and cultural
awareness in order to help create a new and vital society, free from
dictatorship and repression, that would guarantee individual and social
liberties and rights and promote social justice.
The Organizations of Iran National Front is independent in determining
its goals, and methods of struggles and policies. Because the
organizations of Iran National Front inside Iran are under constant
repression by the incumbent dictatorship, and hence unable to express
their ideals and demands, our organization in the United States will
expose the brutal dictatorship in Iran, help the struggle of the Iranian
people for democracy and will defend the legitimate struggles of the
Iran National Front inside, while we remain organizationally and
politically independent from them.
