Federalism in Iran

Federalism in Iran has been debated by Iranians in the twenty-first century. In 2004, the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan called for a federal system. In 2019, public debate followed former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami's suggestion that federalism would be the "most desirable democratic form of government of Iran" but was constitutionally impossible. Kurdish groups' opinions on the March 2023 Mahsa Charter varied between support and opposition, based on differing interpretations on whether the charter supported federalism.
