The Luri tribal insurgency in Pahlavi Iran was a military conflict between several Lur tribes and the Iranian army under Reza Shah, who was initially the Minister of War for the Qajar government and later established the Pahlavi government. The campaign brought the Lurs, who had traditionally been nomadic pastoralists outside the control of the Iranian government, under direct Iranian control.
