Iran Liberation Army

Azadegan press conference in 1981

The Iran Liberation Army (Persian: آزادگان‎‎ (pl.), Azadegan, lit. "the [spiritually] free ones") was an Iranian monarchist organisation which sought to restore the Pahlavi dynasty following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The group, founded by General Bahram Aryana, was described as the most prominent of the "fundamentalist monarchist" (vice "constitutionalist monarchist") groups following the Revolution.^[1]
