Principlists Grand Coalition (2016)}} The Islamic Coalition Party (ICP; ) is a conservative political party in Iran.

The ICP is the pivotal organization within Front of Followers of the Line of the Imam and the Leader and is considered a lay ally of the influential Combatant Clergy Association. Though still very active and influential, the organization experienced a gradual elimination from political power after rise of new conservative rivals in the 2000s and some analysts dismiss it as something of a dinosaur heading for extinction.

One of the oldest among the active parties in Iran, the coalition represents older generations of conservatives, and its main base of support is among bazaari merchants and shopkeepers in Grand Bazaar of Tehran and other cities, petite bourgeoisie, and traditionalist clerics. It is probably the only political organization in Iran which possesses an organic relation with such a social base.

Morteza Motahhari member of the Party was from 1978 until 1979, the Chairman (Head) of the Council of the Islamic Revolution. Since 1979, ICP members have held high government offices and are influential players in the economy of Iran, dominating Iran Chamber of Commerce Industries and Mines (ICCIM) and having "a say in the appointment of the minister of commerce". The party has also interactions with Mostazafan Foundation, Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation and Mashhad-based Astan Quds Razavi.

The ICP is affiliated with parochial schools for boys and girls.

History

The ICP played a vital role in the success of the Iranian Revolution. Following the revolution, it reduced its activities many members joined the Islamic Republic Party as leading members, resuming its activities after the latter's dissolution in 1987. The party had some 90 parliamentary seats in 2006, according to Mohsen Sazegara.

International affairs

The ICP has an office for its international affairs headed by Mehdi Soli, succeeding Hamidreza Taraghi. The party held a forum on unity of Islamic parties in 2015, participated by Hezbollah among others. It sent congratulations to the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam and also maintains good relations with the Chinese Communist Party, as well as the Workers' Party of Korea and government of North Korea.*
