History

During the Iran-Iraq war, Uraman Takht, as the center of Uraman region, came under the control of the Sipay Rizgari group led by Sheykh Osman Naqshbandi. In September-October 1981, it was at the center of a battle for control over the region, before being recaptured by Iranian forces. Approximately 50 Sipay Rizgari fighters were killed and 200 captured by Iranian forces during the battle for the city.[7]
