Hossein Kharrazi (Persian: حسین خرازی)[1] (23 August 1957 – 27 February 1987) was an Iranian military officer who served as the commander of the IRGC's 14th Imam Hussein Division during the Iran–Iraq War.
His curiosity toward religious matters increased during the campaigns against the Pahlavis and he became more aware of the contemporary political circumstances.
Following Operation Tarigh ol-Qods, Imam Hussein Brigade was established which soon was reorganized to a division with Kharrazi being appointed as the Major General.
In Operation Dawn 8, his troops managed to defeat Saddam's Republican Guard and had victories in Al-Faw Peninsula and around "Salt Factory".
During Operation Karbala-5, Kharrazi's division was the spearhead and succeeded to pass arched embankments of the combatant army.
