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.
