The Society of Devotees of the Islamic Revolution (Persian: جمعیت ایثارگران انقلاب اسلامی, romanized: Jam`iyat-e Isargaran-e Enqelab-e Eslami) is a conservative Iranian political party.[3] It is informally referred to as the Isargaran, a word which connotes altruism in Persian and is associated with other political movements.[2] Many members of the party are veterans of the Iran–Iraq War.[5] It is one of the most powerful and least discussed movements in Iran.[2]
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a founding member of the party.[2]
