The Popular Front of Islamic Revolution Forces (PFIRF; Persian: جبهه مردمی نیروهای انقلاب اسلامی, romanized: Jebhe-ye Mardomi-ye Niruhā-ye Enqelāb-e Eslāmī) is a political organization in Iran, founded in late 2016 by ten figures from different spectrum of conservative factions.[3]
The group has pledged to become the main rival for Hassan Rouhani in the 2017 presidential election, intending to introduce a single candidate from conservative camp as its umbrella organization.[3] The front nominated Ebrahim Raisi as their presidential candidate after withdrawal of Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. However, Raisi lost the election to Rouhani and ranked second.
