 Around this time, the Third National Front was formed, which consisted of the FMI (religious-nationalists; Melli-Mazhabis), the Iran Nation Party (the party of Dâryuš Foruhar; Hezb-e Mellat-e Iran), the Society of Iranian Socialists (led by Khalil Maleki, a prominent personality of the Mossadegh era who had been prohibited from joining the Second National Front due to his past history in the Tudeh Party) and the student activists.The Second and Third National Fronts differed largely in their tactical approach to facing the Shah's regime.The former believed in patiently negotiating with the Shah and the higher officials in the hope of peacefully bringing about a democracy.
