Behnam Shahriyari (Persian: بهنام شهریاری; between 1965 and 1968 – 21 June 2025), also known by his aliases Seyed Ali Akbar Mir Vakili, Seyed Hamid Reza Shahcheraghi and Hojatollah Narimani, was a senior official within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, specifically associated with Unit 190.
This unit is responsible for the clandestine transfer and smuggling of weapons to Iranian-aligned armed groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas, the Assad regime in Syria, and the Houthis in Yemen. Shahriyari was subject to several international sanctions by several countries.
Shahriyari was reportedly killed on 21 June 2025, during the Iran–Israel war, after an Israeli strike on Qom Province.
