The political satire of Gol Agha weekly can be considered as one of the background factors for achieving political development during the reform era. This research seeks to answer the main question of how the political satire of Gol Agha weekly has influenced the political development of Iran between 1997-2002. The hypothesis that was investigated based on the study is that "the political satire of the Gol Agha weekly has provided a platform for criticism and tolerance and as a result the promotion of the political development of Iran in the years 1997 to 2002" The analysis of the content of the Gol Agha weekly newspaper has been carried out by documentary, library and interview methods. It came to the conclusion that political humor, due to having common axes with political development indicators and as a result, having two reflective and directing approaches from the society to the government, has a great contribution in Iran's progress from the chaotic situation. It was in good condition. According to the examination of the common themes of the reform era and the Gol-Agha weekly, its influence on political development is clearly evident, so that the political humor of the Gol-Agha weekly can be seen as a mirror of the whole view of the reform era's preoccupations without any dark and dark parts.
