Rastakhiz Party (Resurgence party also Hezb-e Rastakhiz) was founded on 2 March 1975 by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the Shah of Iran. The party was intended as Iran’s new single party holding a monopoly on political activity in Iran and to which all Iranians were required to belong. It survives today in exile as an Iranian monarchist party opposing the Islamic Republic created when the Pahlavi dynasty was overthrown.
