Brigadier General Bijan Assem (Persian: بیژن عاصم; born 1944) was an acclaimed Iranian َAir Force commander and a national hero serving for the full duration of the Iran-Iraq War. His record qualifies him as an ace and one of the most successful commander of that conflict. He served the IIAF (1963–1979), and stayed on to serve in the IRIAF(1980–1988) when it was somewhat dangerous for high-ranked officers and pilots to continue their military service.
