The Council of Nationalist-Religious Activists of Iran (Persian: شورای فعالان ملی-مذهبی ایران) or The Coalition of National-Religious Forces of Iran (Persian: ائتلاف نيروهای ملی-مذهبی ایران) is an Iranian political group, described as "nonviolent, religious semi-opposition" with a following of mainly middle class, intellectual, representatives of technical professions, students and technocrats.
The alliance includes notable influential people like Ezzatollah Sahabi, Hoda Saber, Ebrahim Yazdi, Habibollah Peyman, Yousefi Eshkevari, Mohammad Hosssein Rafiee Fanood, Mohammad Tavasoli and also Reza Alijani, Ahmad Zeydabadi, Taghi Rahmani, Alireza Rajaee etc. Moreover, a number of important modern Iranian figures had been generally associated with the historical body of the alliance. Among them Ali Shariati, Mehdi Bazargan, Mahmoud Taleghani and Mohammad Nakhshab can be mentioned. The three organizations chiefly involved in its establishment in 2000 were the Freedom Movement of Iran (FMI, formed in 1961), the Revolutionary Movement of the People of Iran (Jonbesh-e Azadibakhsh-e Mardom-e Iran or JAMA, formed in 1963), and the Militant Muslim Movement (Jonbesh-e Mosalmanan-e Mardom or MMM, formed in 1976).
