Conservatism in Iran

Conservatism in Iran (Persian: محافظه‌کاری, romanized: Mohāfeze-kāri) can vary in meaning from time to time. Until 1979, "conservative" in Iran meant "Monarchists" or "Royalists" who supported Pahlavi. In modern Iranian discourse, the term "conservative" has been replaced by "Principlists", which refers mainly to those who advocate the principles of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
