Progress Party or Party for Progress ( Persian: حزب ترقی, romanized: Ḥezb-e taraqqi) was a fascist [4] political party in Iran led by Abdolhossein Teymourtash, described as the "spurious" party of government and functioning as a "vehicle for executing royal intentions" of Reza Shah. [2]
Modeled after Mussolini's National Fascist Party and Atatürk's Republican People's Party, [3] it subscribed ideas similar to the short-lived New Iran Party. [2]
With the fall of Abdolhossein Teymourtash in late 1932, the party soon melted away [2] and was outlawed on the grounds that it harbors republican sentiments. [3]
