The group was founded on 21 June 1980, as the 'Organization of National and Islamic Struggle' by associates of Ezaddin Hosseini, with his brother Jalal Hosseini being their lead figure.[2] It split in 1987, when the current leadership accused its opponents of being the agents of Iranian regime.[2] In 2006, the group renamed itself to the current name under leadership of Babeshekh Hosseini, son of Jalal Hosseini.[2]
