The Islamic Coalition Party (also Islamic Motalefeh Party, Motalefe Eslami, Unified Islamic Associations, or Motalefeh) (Persian: حزب مؤتلفه اسلامی, Jamiat’haye Motalefeh Islami) is a conservative Islamist political party in Iran. It was founded in 1963 at the suggestion of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as a "political and military wing of the bazaar", based on the Shi'a religious structure and is said to have "played a vital role in the success" of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.[1] It was founded by three groups "who were in touch with Khomeini and the people." Khomeini appealed to them saying: "`You are working for the sake of God, why don’t you join hands?`"[2] Following the revolution it is said to have dominated "the influential" Iran Chamber of Commerce Industries and Mines (ICCIM) until recently.[3]
