The Persian-language magazine Habl al-Matin (Persian: حبل المتین; "Strong cord"), one of the most important political journals during the Iran Constitutional Revolution, was published daily in Teheran from 1907 to 1908.[1]

One volume with a total of 274 issues was published. Founded as subsidiary of the magazine Habl al-Matin which was published in Calcutta it should offer current news about Iran.[2] The founders and owners were Moayyed-al-Eslam, publisher of the Indian Habl al-Matin and his younger brother Sayyed Hasan. As of the 20th edition, Shaikh Yajya Kashani, a well-known journalist and owner of the magazines Majles, Irān and Irān-e emruz was nominated as editor.[3] During the Constitutional Revolution, Hasan used the journal in order to support the movement in June 1908.[4] The magazine was suspended after the coup d'état of Mohammed Ali Shah and Sayyed Hasan was exiled.[5]
