Union of Islamic Iran People Party (Persian: حزب اتحاد ملت ایران اسلامی) is an Iranian reformist political party founded in 2015.
In January 2015, it was confirmed by the Ministry of Interior that it has received a request for a permit to establish a new political party. The reformists carried out some six similar initiatives for party formation in the past six months. It was officially given permission on April 20, 2015.
Most members of the party are former members of Islamic Iran Participation Front, banned in 2009. The party was accused of being a "front" for the banned Islamic Iran Participation Front, which was tacitly denied by the party.
Central council of the party consists of 30 members, including Gholamreza Ansari, Hamidreza Jalaeipour, Fatemeh Rakeei and Jalal Jalalizadeh. Emadaddin Khatami, son of Mohammad Khatami is also a member.
The party which intended to take part in the Iranian legislative election, 2016, was part of List of Hope.
