Abuzar Brigade, (Arabic: لواء أبوزر Liwa' 'Abuzr,), (Persian: لشکر ابوذر ), also known as Abuzar Division, was an Afghan Shia militia that fought in the Iran–Iraq War on the side of Iran. During the war, the group was mainly stationed in the mountainous areas of northwestern Iran, and its fighters had experience in both mountain and irregular warfare from the Soviet-Afghan War.[2][3][4][5]
