Shahram Rostami (Persian: ⓘ) is a former Iranian fighter pilot who was active in the Iran-Iraq War. With six definite aerial victories, against three MiGs and three Mirage F.1s (with a single AIM-54 missile), he qualifies as a flying ace and one of the best scoring pilots of F-14 Tomcat.[2]
Rostami held office as the deputy commander of Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force and the chairman of Joint Staff of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army.[3][4]
