The roots of Masonic organizations in Iran can be found in the early Qajar period. The structure and nature of these organizations are tied to the historical developments of political philosophy and governance. Freemasonry lodges started in Iran after September 1941 and the August 1953 coup. Masonic organizations, as hidden and shadow powers, have had various affiliations and actions. The second Pahlavi period is the era of real development of Masonic organization in Iran. Freemasonry in this 37- year period has hidden and contradictory dimensions and angles that have been neglected throughout history. The purpose of writing this article is to review, observe and explain the history of Freemasonry in Iran during the second Pahlavi era. The researcher tries to answer the ambiguities of the research with a descriptive-analytical method and in the framework of historical studies and relying on archival and library documents. The findings are that the Freemasonry organization achieved an independent identity structure during the three decades of Pahlavi II's life and appeared publicly as one of the components of power. These organizations had many functions in court relations and conflicts both at the domestic level and as dependent elements of extra-local and global powers. During this period, the sphere of influence of the freemasonry lodges expanded to a national extent and the affiliated centers became inactive and the paternities of power targeted and organized intra-organizational relations.
