Abstract
The behavior of the Azadi political group towards Iran's revolutionary developments and the causes of this behavior have always been the focus of contemporary history researchers. Based on this, the evaluation of the performance and behavioral characteristics of the freedom movement group during the Holy Defense period is one of the important issues and worthy of research attention. It seems that this political movement has adopted contradictory positions towards the Iran-Iraq war, therefore, the present article tries to answer this question by applying the theory of political divergence with an analytical-descriptive approach and documentary studies. What were the grounds of the political divergence of the freedom movement in the process of imposed war, and what positions did the representatives of the Islamic Council take? The findings of the article show that at the beginning of the Iraq-Iran conflict, the Freedom Movement group gave theoretical support to the holy defense, but after a short period of time and after the recapture of Khorramshahr on June 3, 1363, the positions of this group changed. was faced and they considered the performance of the Iranian political system in managing the imposed war against the national interests of Iranians. These positions caused the general representatives of the Islamic Council to line up against them and evaluate their positions as a result of their inclination towards the West, cooperation with the groups opposing the Islamic Revolution, and opposition to the religious authority.
