The Party of Nationalists or Nationalists' Party[2] (Persian: حزب ملیون, romanized: Ḥezb-e Melliun) was a conservative[4] political party in Pahlavi era Iran, and government majority party from 1957 to 1960. The party was founded in 1957 by Manouchehr Eghbal on orders directed by Shah to initiate a two-party system.[2] Its opposition was liberal People's Party.[1]
