Safir (Persian: سفیر; Arabic: سَفِيْر, romanized: Safīr, meaning "traveler") is an Iranian 4x4 multipurpose military vehicle built by Fath Vehicle Industries. The Safir weighs 1.5 tonne and is based on the M38. The jeep can be distinguished from the M38 due to the sharp angled body panels, hood and grille.
It has been supplied to Iraq via militia forces since it is inexpensive and affordable to produce them in mass numbers.
