Constitutionalist Party of Iran – Liberal Democrat (حزب مشروطه ایران–لیبرال دموکرات, Hezb-e Mashruteh-ye Iran–Liberal Democrat) is an Iranian monarchist political party in exile. It was founded in 1994 by exiled supporters of the former Pahlavi dynasty, notably former minister Dariush Homayoon, with the aim of restoring a constitutional monarchy in Iran. The party condemns the 1979 Islamic Revolution and advocates the return of the monarchy under Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi in a liberal democratic system.
Fouad Pashaie (also spelled Foad Pashai) has served as Secretary-General of the CPI since the mid-2000s, after Homayoun’s tenure. The party is headquartered in Los Angeles and operates primarily through the Iranian diaspora.
