The Muslim Kurd Peshmerga Organization was a popular group formed in autumn 1979 on the initiative of Mohammad Boroujerdi (martyr) with the aim of liberating the western and northwestern provinces of the country from counter-revolution occupation and in 1983 was merged into the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

After the victory of the Islamic Revolution and Kurdish regions being thrown into chaos by the counter-revolution, a group of native people of Kurdistan, part of whom after the victory of the Islamic Revolution cooperated as Javanmard with the Gendarmerie, were forced to migrate to neighboring provinces (Hamedan, Zanjan, Kermanshah, Orumiyeh and Tehran). Then on the initiative of Mohammad Boroujerdi (commander of the IRGC in the west of the country) and approval of the Revolutionary Council and Imam Khomeini, these forces were organized in the form of the Muslim Kurd Peshmerga Organization.⁠[1]

The goal of forming the Muslim Kurd Peshmerga Organization was organizing individuals interested in the Islamic Republic system, returning individuals loyal to the Islamic Republic system to their cities, establishing sustainable security in Kurdistan with responsibility of native individuals, paving the ground for providing economic, cultural and other services to the people of the region and helping the people of the region to get rid of the counter-revolution yoke.⁠[2]

Most members of the Peshmerga Organization were native Kurdish-speaking people of Shafei Sunni religion. Of course a small number of Shias of Qorveh and Bijar cities and non-native Basij members were also members of the Peshmerga Organization.⁠[3]

The official uniform of Peshmerga Organization members was a shirt like military uniforms with buttons on shoulders and a place like rank installation place and on the left arm the organization' s emblem was installed. Loose trousers which allowed easy movement in heights and mountains, a two-color headband inspired by the Peshmergas of Mullah Mustafa Barzani (among Kurdish fighters of Iraq against Saddam' s government) which protected the head from heat and cold and a shawl tied around the waist which protected individuals against winter cold were components of this uniform.⁠[4]

Sarvabad region,⁠[21] liberation of Saqqez-Divandarreh-Takab region,⁠[22] Shahid Kazemi Operation,⁠[23] Shahid Hosseini Operation,⁠[24] Uramanat Takht Operation,⁠[25] Besat Operation⁠[26] in Kurdistan Province and operations for liberation of Mahabad-Miandoab road,⁠[27] liberation of Miandoab-Bukan road,⁠[28] liberation of Piranshahr-Mirabad-Sardasht road⁠[29] and Shahid Fathi Operation⁠[30] in West Azerbaijan Province.

Cultural actions with the aim of explaining the nature of separatist terrorist groups among the people were among other activities of the Muslim Kurd Peshmerga Organization.

Members of the Peshmerga Organization during their activity met Imam Khomeini several times in which meetings Imam Khomeini appreciated their efforts in establishing security in Kurdish regions and supported them.⁠[32]

The Muslim Kurd Peshmerga Organization in 1983 with the aim of improving operational power and greater cohesion was merged into the IRGC and its members continued activity in various units of this organization.⁠[33]
