Front of Islamic Revolution Stability (Persian: جبههٔ پایداری انقلاب اسلامی, romanizedJebha-ye pāydārī-e enqelāb-e eslāmī, also translated Persevering Front,[6] Endurance Front[7] and Steadfast Front)[8] is an Iranian principlist political group described as "extreme end of the fundamentalist camp" and "Iran’s most right-wing party".[9] It was established as an electoral list for the 2012 legislative election. The Front is partly made up of former ministers of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mohammad-Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi is said to be the "spiritual leader" behind the group.[10]

In 2013, the Front supported Saeed Jalili for president after Kamran Bagheri Lankarani's withdrawal,[citation needed] and released electoral list for local elections in several cities, with a landslide victory in Mashhad City Council.[11]

The front declares that it stands against both “sedition” (2009 Iranian presidential election protests) and the “deviant current”. Rajanews website is its online mouthpiece.[1]
