The Two Societies (Persian: جامعتین, Jāme'atein)[1] is the nickname given to the coalition of two influential[2] Iranian principlist clerical religious–political groups, Combatant Clergy Association of Tehran and Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom.[1]
The two societies, declare a shared electoral list for Assembly of Experts. In the Iranian Assembly of Experts election, 2006, they won 14 seats out of 16 in Tehran Province. They also dominate Guardian Council.[2]
