Iranian Call and Reform Organization (Persian: جماعت دعوت و اصلاح ایران) is a Sunni Islamist political organization in Iran.[3] The majority of its members are Kurdish, roughly making up half of the organization.[2] It is not legally registered as a political group, however like reformists in Iran, it seeks reforms in the government[4] while complying within the framework of Iranian government.[2]
The party is allegedly tied with the Muslim Brotherhood,[1] [5] however it states there is no affiliation.[2]
According to Ali Rebaz, a senior Kurdistan Islamic Union politician, the two parties have good relations with each other.[6]

In Iran, there is a big Islamic organization called “Islah and Dawa Group” that belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood. They are not registered as a political group because political activities are not allowed in Iran. Obviously, the regime in Iran is a sectarian regime and will always try to limit the activities of local Sunnis. Islah and Dawa are not happy with the regime’s sectarian policies, but I think there is very little they can do if they want to stay away from serious trouble. Because of their Muslim Brotherhood ties, they have good relations with the KIU..
