The Islamic Dawa Party (Arabic: حزب الدعوة الإسلامية, romanized: Ḥizb ad-Daʿwa al-Islāmiyya), is an international Shia Islamist political movement that was formed in 1957 by seminarians in Najaf, Iraq. The party backed the Iranian Revolution and also Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini during the Iran–Iraq War. It also opposed the Iraq War. Iran played a crucial role in the development of the movement, especially its Lebanese branch which later became Hezbollah. As of 2019, after two decades of political prominence and success, its Iraqi branch is suffering from internal divisions and is in danger of losing its "political relevance".[9] The party is led by Nouri Al-Maliki.
