The Tudeh Party of Iran ("Party of the Masses of Iran"; Persian: حزب توده ایران Hezb-e Tudeh Iran) is an Iranian communist party. Formed in 1941, it had considerable influence in its early years ...The crackdown that followed the 1953 coup against Mosaddeq is said to have "destroyed" the party, although it continued and still exists, but is much weaker as a result of the banning of the party and mass arrests by the Islamic Republic in 1982 and the executions of political prisoners in 1988.
