The Islamic Society of Engineers (ISE) (Persian: جامعهٔ اسلامی مهندسین, Jāme'-e eslāmī-ye mohandisīn) is a principlist political organization of engineers in Iran. Formerly one of the parties aligned with the Combatant Clergy Association,[1] it is close to the Islamic Coalition Party, whose decisions it mostly follows. It is questionable whether it is an independent and strong party.[3]
The Society was formed at the end of the Iran–Iraq War (1988) with the objective of elevating the Islamic, political, scientific and technical knowledge of the Muslim people of Iran, defending major freedoms such as freedom of expression and gatherings, as well as continued campaigning against foreign cultural agents whether Eastern or Western materialism.[1]
Members
- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the sixth president of Iran, was an active member since its establishment but turned against the party after his presidency.[3]
- Mohammad Reza Bahonar, current secretary-general and former deputy speaker of the Parliament of Iran[3]
- Manouchehr Mottaki, former minister of foreign affairs[3]
- Mohammad Nazemi Ardakani, former minister of cooperatives[5]
