Description of the flag

The Headquarters for the reconstruction of Atbat Aliayat was established in 2002 by Ali Khamenei (other sources mention 2003) and is responsible for the development of Shi'te shrines in Iraq and since 2014 it has started activities in Syria as well.

Al-Atabat Al-Aliyat (Arabic: العتبات العالیات lit. sublime thresholds), which is also known as Al-Atabat Al-Muqaddasa (literally: holy doorsteps) are the shrines of six Shia Imams (which are part of the Twelver Shi'ites) located in four cities of Iraq, namely Najaf, Karbala, Kadhimiya and Samarra; and actually the whole of these Imams' shrines (graves) are called Atabat Aliyat. The mentioned cities have significance due to shrines of those six Shia Imams who have been buried there.

It was registered as a non-government organization and since the beginning it was headed by Qassem Soleimani. It is affiliated with the Quds Force of the IRGC. Its members are labeled as "نیروهای جهادی" (English: Jihadi(st)
forces).
