The National Socialist Workers Party of Iran (), better known by its abbreviation SUMKA (), was a Neo-Nazi party in Iran. The symbol of the party was a highly stylised Faravahar, on their flag appearing in a similar arrangement to the NSDAP flag.
== Foundation == The party was formed in the early 1950s by Davud Monshizadeh and had a minor support base in Iranian universities. Critics of the late Mohammad Reza Pahlavi allege that he provided direct funding to SUMKA at one point.
