Mohsen Pezeshkpour (1927 — January 6 2011) (Persian: محسن پزشکپور) was an Iranian politician and the co-founder and leader of the Pan-Iranist Party, which is also seen as the Old Nationalist Party of Iran.

Life

He was born in 1927 in Tehran. In the early years of his life, he witnessed the occupation of Iran by the Allied Forces (including USA, Britain and Soviet Union). This invasion awakened the nationalist feeling in Iran and strengthened the core of the Pan-Iranian feeling.

Pan-Iranian school was established by a group of young nationalist Iranians with the leadership of Mohsen Pezeshkpoor in 1947. This school had political roots in 1941. The Organisation was already working under other names and titles before 1947. Following the death of Alireza Raes (on 8 June 1946), a charismatic figurehead within the party, the Party members centred their political activities around a set of coherent and more enduring goals.
