The Principlists (Persian: اصولگرایان, romanized: Osul-Garāyān, lit. 'followers of principles, fundamentalists'), also interchangeably known as the Iranian hardliners, Iranian Conservatives and formerly referred to as the Right or Right-wing, are one of two main political camps in post-revolutionary Iran; the Reformists are the other camp. The term hardliners that some Western sources use in the Iranian political context usually refers to the faction. The faction rejects the status quo internationally, but favors domestic preservation.
