Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces (SHANA) (Persian: شورای ائتلاف نیروهای انقلاب اسلامی) is a conservative coalition of parties that endorsed a joint electoral list for 2020 Iranian legislative election.
Reuters described the coalition as the "biggest hardline group" in the elections and "expected to dominate" the parliament.[1]
The list includes Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on top of its list,[2] and other candidates include former members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij, as well as other figures loyal to Ali Khamenei.[1] The coalition failed to form an electoral pact with the far-right Front of Islamic Revolution Stability.[3]
