Political party in Iran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Socialist Workers’ Party of Iran (Persian: حزب کارگران سوسیالیست ایران, romanized: Ḥezb-e kārgarān-e sūsīālīst-e Irān) is a small Iranian Trotskyist communist party exiled in England.[2] The party is a merger of two Trotskyist groups based abroad, "Trotskyists", the first Trotskyist group in the history of Persian communism that was founded by Iranian students in London in 1960s, and another group created in the United States with the help of Socialist Workers Party by Babak Zahraei. The two groups were unaware of each other, but were brought together via Fourth International.[3][4]
