The Office for Strengthening Unity (also Office for Consolidating Unity, Persian: دفتر تحکیم وحدت, romanized: Daftar-e Tahkim-e Vahdat) is an Iranian student organization created in 1979, and has been described as "the country's most well-known student organization,"[1] and "Iran's leading prodemocracy student group".[2] Founded in 1979 as a conservative Islamist organization to combat leftist, more secular, student groups,[3] the OSU has evolved to support democracy and reform in Iran [4] and thus is now in opposition to the political heirs of its founders.
