14th Imam Hossein Division (Persian: لشکر 14 امام حسین (ع)) is a division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
It was first officially organized as the 3rd Imam Hossein Brigade during the Iran–Iraq War, just before Operation Tariq al-Qods. Its units had participated in various rebellions in Iran after the 1979 Revolution, and the soldiers of the division were predominantly from the Isfahan Province. It was later expanded into a division. It participated in various key operations and battles in the Iran-Iraq war.
Describing the IRGC units during the Iran-Iraq war, then-commander-in-chief of IRGC Mohsen Rezaei says:[1]
We had four divisions that, anywhere they went, no [Iraqi] military force was able to resist against them. Haj Hemmat and [his] 27th Mohammad Rasulullah Division, Hossein Kharrazi and [his] 14th Imam Hossein Division, Mehdi Bakeri and [his] 31st Ashura Division, Ahmad Kazemi and [his] 8th Najaf Division—which whenever they entered, it resulted in success without exception.
