Peykar Party ( Persian: حزب پیکار, lit. 'Battle Party') was a small nationalist organization in Iran during 1940s. The party denounced the reign of Reza Shah and it condemned the presence of the Allies on Iranian soil. [3]
According to L. P. Elwell-Sutton, the party was composed of intellectuals, and at some time was sympathized by figures such as Hossein Ala and Isa Sedigh. [5]
One of its organs "showed inclinations in favor of Nazi Germany", [3] while the party " tended towards France, and against the soviet Union". [4] In 1943 a weekly newspaper entitled Mard-i Imruz which had been launched by Mohammad Masud in 1942 became the official media outlet of the party. [6]
