Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters

Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters is the unified combatant command headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces, under direct command of the General Staff. It is tasked with planning and coordinating joint military operations within the Iranian forces. As of 2016, its commander is Major General Gholam Ali Rashid.

In 2016, the KCHQ was separated from the General Staff as a standing independent command responsible for operational command and control (C2); previously, the KCHQ would only be stood up in wartime.

In April 2024, both the KCHQ and current commander Major General Gholam Ali Rashid were sanctioned by the United Kingdom and Canada in response to Operation True Promise, the Iranian missile attack against Israel on April 13, which Iran said was in retaliation to the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1.
