The National Council of Iran (NCI; Persian: شورای ملی ایران, romanized: Šurā-ye melli-e Irān), officially the
National Council of Iran for Free Elections,[6] is a loosely based umbrella group of the exiled opposition to Iran's Islamic Republic government,[1] participating in the Iranian democracy movement.
The self-styled[7] National Council claims to have gathered "Millions of pro-democracy proponents from both inside and outside Iran."[3] It also claims to represent religious and ethnic minorities.[8] According to Kenneth Katzman, the group which was established with over 30 groups has "suffered defections and its activity level appears minimal".[2]
