Takavar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Takavaran is the term used for a type of Iranian special forces troops. The takavaran (plural of takavar) fall under the direct command of the regular Iranian Army (Artesh), while the Pasdaran have their own special forces called the Qods Force. They are directly comparable to the U.S. Army Special Forces ('Green Berets') of the United States through a near identical training and selection program.^{[citation needed]}
