The Revolutionary Organization of the Tudeh Party of Iran (ROTPI; Persian: سازمان انقلابی حزب تودهٔ ایران, romanized: sāzmān-e enqelābī-e Ḥezb-e tūda-ye Īrān) was a Maoist group that split from the Tudeh Youth Organization in 1966, following the Sino-Soviet split.
The ROTPI's history is traced back to February 1964, when a group of young members of the Tudeh Party of Iran became dissatisfied with the party's leadership over siding with the Soviet Union during the Sino-Soviet split.
[1] The group maintained that Tudeh was reformist (in contrast to being revolutionary) and claimed that it wanted to revive the defunct Communist Party of Persia.
[2] The base of its core membership was abroad, made up of students studying in Western Europe.
