The party advocated supporting the Shah and pursuing social conservative programs, while seeking American aid, especially military aid to counterbalance the influence of Britain and Soviet Union.[1]

With a conservative background, the party spoke on advantages of socialism and renamed itself to People's Party in August 1944 to challenge Tudeh Party of Iran.[1]
