Mohammad-Hosayn Ayrom

Mohammad Hosayn Âyrom (Persian: سرلشگر محمدحسین آیرم) was a senior military leader of the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran during the reign of king Reza Shah (r. 1925–41).

[1][2] Ayrom climbed up the ranks swiftly, becoming a colonel of Iran's Cossack Brigade as early as 1901.

[1] At the height of his career, he was viewed as more powerful than a Cabinet member and Reza Shah's right-hand man.

His abuses of his position included graft, framing innocent people and smuggling and seeing what was happening to others he pretended to be ill and left Iran permanently.

[3] During World War II, Ayrom made active efforts in order to create a government in exile in Berlin, German-backed, under the name of Īrān-e āzād.
