Principalisti iraniani

Per principalisti iraniani (in iraniano جناح اصولگرایان جمهوری اسلامی ایران) o conservatori iraniani^[1][2] si intende uno dei due principali campi politici dell'Iran post-rivoluzionario, collocato a destra,^[2][3][4] opposto ai riformisti. Le ideologie più diffuse sono il Conservatorismo, Islamismo,^[5] Teocrazia^[6] e Velayat-e faqih, ma sono anche presenti delle fazioni che sostengono il Populismo di destra,^[7] Tradizionalismo,^[7][8] Realpolitik^[7] e Fondamentalismo islamico.^[9] Secondo un sondaggio condotto dall'Iranian Students Polling Agency (ISPA) nell'aprile del 2017, il 15% degli iraniani si identifica come principalista (contro il 28% riformista).^[10] Attualmente i principalisti dominano l'Assemblea degli Esperti e il Consiglio dei Guardiani della Costituzione.^[11]

   «“Conservative” is no longer a preferred term in Iranian political discourse. Usulgara', which can be clumsily translated as “principlist” is the term now used to refer to an array of forces that previously identified themselves as conservative, fundamentalist, neo-fundamentalist, or traditionalist. It developed to counter the term eslahgara, or reformist, and is applied to a camp of not necessarily congrous groups and individuals.»

   «In fact, Iranian ‘Islamists’ of our day call themselves ‘Usul gara’, which literally means ‘fundamentalist’, but in a positive sense. It designates a ‘person of principles’ who is the ‘true Muslim’.»
