Mojahedin of the Islamic Revolution of Iran Organization (MIRO; Persian: سازمان مجاهدین انقلاب اسلامی ایران, romanizedSāzmān-e Mojāhedin-e Enqelāb-e Eslāmi-e Irān) is a reformist political organization in Iran. It is a small yet influential organization, and participates in political activities similar to a political party. Historian Ervand Abrahamian referred to the group as "a circle of intellectuals and technocrats radical in economic policies but relatively liberal in cultural matters."[7]
