Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarter (also spelled Khātam al-Anbiyā, Persian: قرارگاه سازندگی خاتم‌الانبیا; Qârargâh-he Sazandegi-ye Xatam alânbia, literally, "Seal of the Prophets") is an Iranian engineering firm controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The firm, also known as GHORB, is the IRGC's major engineering arm and one of Iran's largest contractors in industrial and development projects. Khatam al-Anbiya was created during the 1980–88 Iran–Iraq War to help rebuild the country, and has diversified over the years into companies dealing with mechanical engineering, energy, mining and defense.

The company and some of its subsidiaries are affected by UN sanctions.[2]
