National Union Party (Persian: حزب اتحاد ملی, romanized: Ḥezb-e Ettehād-e Mellī) was a royalist party in Iran, established as an offshoot of the fraction of the same name in the Iranian Parliament.
[1] The party advocated supporting the Shah and pursuing social conservative programs, while seeking American aid, especially military aid to counterbalance the influence of Britain and Soviet Union.
[1] With a conservative background, the party spoke on advantages of socialism and renamed itself to People's Party in August 1944 to challenge Tudeh Party of Iran.
