خلاصة:
The socio-political transformations in Iran during the 1960s are considered a turning point in our country's contemporary history. To accelerate the modernization process, Mohammad Reza Shah, relying on the army and SAVAK, suppressed all opponents of this process. With the departure of these opponents, who were primarily believers in political action within the framework of the Constitutional Law, new opponents emerged who, in response to the atmosphere of suppression and suffocation, chose the strategy of revolutionary armed resistance and engaged in resistance against the government. The role of the Azadi Movement as an intellectual-political organization in these changes and transformations, which ultimately led to the Islamic Revolution of 1979, is evident. By positioning itself as an intermediary force between national and religious forces and also by providing a suitable platform for the formation of the People's Mojahedin Organization, this organization played an effective role in creating, expanding, and bringing to fruition the revolutionary wave of the 1960s and 1970s.

The Azadi Movement, considering the deep influence that the early Mojahedin organization had left on Muslim youth and especially the members of Islamic student associations, sought to counter the organization's deviation and even resorted to publishing an internal periodical in this regard (Yazdi, 2004, p.
After a period of recession, and with the beginning of the armed struggle by the Fadaiyan-e Khalq in 1970 and later the Mojahedin organization, and the arrest of members of these organizations by the government, the activities of individuals and political organizations abroad, including the Azadi Movement, entered a new phase.
The members of the Azadi Movement abroad were among the first groups to reach the theoretical necessity of armed struggle against the Mohammad Reza Shah regime, but in practice, apart from the assistance they provided to the People's Mojahedin Organization, they were unable to take serious independent action against the regime.
