Kurdish Hezbollah of Iran (Kurdish: حیزبوڵڵای کوردی ئیران; Persian: حزب‌الله کردی از ایران) is an Islamist political party created in Iran in 1983 under the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed Khalid Barzani. Kurdish Hezbollah of Iran is very close to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and isn't a nationalist or leftist organization like most other Kurdish parties. Qadir Osman, the leader of this party, said "our friendship with Iran is very good and there are visits among us".[1]

In 1988, Adham Barzani, within this group and under his control, established Kurdish Revolutionary Hezbollah, an offshoot of the Kurdish Hezbollah of Iran.[2][1]
