Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts

The Islamic Artifact Reclamation Directorate (IARD), commonly referred to as the Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts and formerly known as the Organization for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts (ORIA), is an Iranian paramilitary organization and the primary anomalous organization in Iran due to the expulsion and execution of numerous SCP Foundation personnel as well as the destruction of three Sites within Iran after the Iranian Revolution.ORIA Hub
Formed after the Fifth Occult War concluded, it eventually became the main anomalous agency throughout the Middle East, centered in Shemiran in the Tehran Province. After the 1979 Iranian Revolution, ORIA was dissolved and was made part of a new organization, the Islamic Artifact Reclamation Directorate. However, the former name of the organization is mostly used, the IARD name being used mostly only on government documents.

====SCP Foundation====
ORIA in its current form is considered hostile to the SCP Foundation after the attacks on Iranian Foundation sites and the capture and killings of Foundation personnel. They are to be treated with extreme caution due to their hostility and possible use of the anomalous.Groups Of Interest
