Zoroastrian Theocracy
Zoroastrian Theocracy (ZoroTheo) is an 
authoritarian, 
culturally right-wing historical ideology that wishes to establish a religious government with Zoroastrianism as the state religion. Zoroastrianism is notable for being the first documented monotheistic religion and greatly influencing all major abrahamic religions through concepts such as Free Will, Dichotomy of Good and Evil, Heaven and Hell, among others. Zoroastrian Theocracy was most relevant in Iran through the Persian Empires that held zoroastrianism as a state religion, but since the Islamic Conquest of Iran zoroastrianism went into decline and very few zorastrian states existed since then, with no relevant Theocratic Zoroastrian movement existing today.
History
It all started during the rise of the Achaemenid Empire. The Achaemenid Empire's main religion is Zoroastrianism and were founded by Cyrus the Great. Cyrus the Great didn't want to force it on his citizens, which is one of the only theocracies that doesn’t have compulsory conversion.
After the fall of the Achaemenid and Alexandrian Empires, the Greco-Persian Seleucid Empire was formed, followed by the Sasanian Dynasty, the last Zoroastrian Empire.
Zoroastrian Theocracy continued to become the main ideology of all Iranian empires before the rapid expansion of Islam took over the areas of Zoroastrianism. Iranian empires after the collapse of the Three Caliphates are 
Shia Theocracies. Zoroastrianism is still practiced today, but the religion is no longer common.
But the Zoroastrian theocracy cannot be given as a complete example because during the Achaemenid period, Cyrus's opinion did not insist on theocracy, and in the Parthian period there was no theocracy either (of course, the clergy had influence), but in the Sassanid period, a Zoroastrian theocracy can be considered. (with distortions) and during the rule of Anushirvan Sasanian, who considered himself a Mobad and reduced the very high class differences of the Sasanian era, this person can be called a Zoroastrian theocrat.(Of course, during the Sassanid era, there was a strongly authoritarian government and to the extent that Anushirvan Sassanid, who is known as a justice-loving king, considered class differences to be one of the principles of Sassanid rule)
Beliefs
Zoroastrianism believes that the world is in a constant struggle between the good god Ahura Mazda and the Evil spirit Angrya Mainyu and it is the duty of Humans to do good and thereby help Ahura Mazda to defeat Angrya Mainyu.

him.
Pahlavism - The Celebration of the 2,500th Anniversary of the Founding of the Persian Empire was pretty based, ngl. But why did you teach children in school that the Zoroastrian clergy caused military defeats against the Arab invaders? And that your modern supporters are anti-clerical and anti-theocracy, and if they want to insist on this belief, I might support the Islamic Republic, because we are both theocracies.
