Mehran (Persian: مهران)[a] is a city in the Central District of Mehran County, Ilam province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4]

Mehran is near Iran's western border with Iraq. Because of its strategic proximity - only two hours' drive from Baghdad - the city has played a continuing role in dealings between Iran and Iraq.

In May 1981, during the Iran–Iraq War, in the Battle of Mehran, Iraqi forces captured Mehran, on the western plain of the Zagros Mountains and pushed eastward to the mountain base.[5] Along with other Iraqi forces, they had been driven out by 1982-83.
