The Hezbollah fraction ( Persian: فراکسیون حزبالله, romanized: Feraksiyon-e Hezbollah, lit. 'Parliamentary Party of God') [1] was the conservative parliamentary group in the Iranian Parliament between 1996 and 2000.
Its leader was Ali-Akbar Hosseini. [2]
The group was formed as a countermove to establishment of the ' Hezbollah Assembly', [1] its main rival parliamentary group. [2]
Its members had been contested in the elections while included in the electoral list of the Combatant Clergy Association (CCA). [3] Formed by the "traditionalist right", [1] CCA members shaped core of the fraction. [2] Islamic Coalition Party and Islamic Society of Engineers were other prominent parties in the group. [4]
