Islamic Reconciliation Party or Al-Wefaq Islamic Party (Persian: حزب وفاق اسلامی, Arabic: حزب الوفاق الاسلامي) formerly named Reconciliation Committee (Arabic: لجنةالوفاق; Lejnat Al-Wefaq),[2] was an Iranian local ethnic party associated with Arab minority in Khuzestan Province.[3]
The party had candidates shared with the Islamic Iran Participation Front,[4] and was described as its Arabic wing.[5] It won several seats in Ahvaz's City Council, as well as a seat in the Iranian Parliament.
On 4 November 2006, the Judicial system of Iran banned the party and declared it illegal on charges of "instigating unrest" and "opposing the system", accusing it of fueling 2005 Ahvaz unrest.[3] Following detention of some party members, a faction were radicalized and joined the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz which is a separatist militant organization designated as a "terrorist organization" by Iran.[6]
