Muhammad-Husayn Ayrom

Muhammad Hussein Ayrom was known for his intelligence.

Sar-lashgar Muhammad Husayn Ayrom (سرلشگر محمدحسین آیرم) was a senior military leader of the Pahlavi dynasty of Iran. He was the nephew of General Teymūr Khan Ayromlou and a first cousin of Queen Tadj ol-Molouk Ayromlou. Only some members of the Ayrums family spelled their surname "Ayromlou" with the added suffix "lou".

Born in 1882 in Baku to an Azeri family, Ayrom began studies in Russia and soon began military training. The Ayrums became recent arrivals in Iran from the Caucasus. Ayrom climbed up the ranks swiftly, becoming a colonel of Iran's cossack brigade as early as 1901. Muhammad-Hossein was a descendant of the Ayrums tribe which immigrated to Iran from the Caucasus.

He became Chief of Iran's Central Police (Shahrbāni)in 1931. At the height of his career, he was viewed as more powerful than a Cabinet member and Reza Shah's right-hand man. His abuses of his position included graft, framing innocent people and smuggling and seeing what was happening to others he pretended to be ill and left Iran permanently.^[1]

He died on March 31, 1948 in Liechtenstein while staying there for medical treatment for his illness.^{[citation needed]}
