The National Front of Iran or Jebhe Melli is a political opposition party founded by Mohammad Mossadegh and other secular Iranian leaders of nationalist, socially liberal, and social-democratic political orientation who had been educated in France in the late 1940s. It held power in the Iranian parliament for several years prior to the 1953 Iranian coup d'état and continued as an opposition force thereafter.
