Sazman-i Nasr (Persian: سازمان نصر, lit.'Organization of Victory') was a Hazara militant group, opposed to the leftist Afghan government during the 1980s. After the Revolutionary Council of Islamic Unity of Afghanistan, Al-Nasr was the elite militant group. The organisation included many young men educated in Kabul, including Shia clergymen, and received support from the Khomeini government.[1] It was a part of the Tehran Eight political constellation after 1987.[2]
