Jahan Pahlavan

Jahan Pahlavan (Persian: جهان‌پهلوان) was a rank champion in the Iranian Guards before the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah.^[1]

In the book Shahnameh, Ferdowsi calls Rostam, the son of Zāl, "Jahan Pahlavan".

In contemporary Iranian history, Gholamreza Takhti is referred to as the "Jahan Pahlavan".^[2] According to Sadruddin Elahi, the term "Jahan Pahlavan" in reference to Gholamreza Takhti was first used by Siavash Kasrai in a poem by him called the Jahan Pahlavan, and this title remained on the throne.^[3]
