Tehran - Jahanbakhsh, Shojaei and Safi get coach Queiroz's nod
The biggest shock was the decision not to take Rezaei, the 26-year-old coming off a blistering season for Belgium's Charleroi, scoring 16 goals in 39 games.
But Iran has strong choices up front, including Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who became the first Iranian to top the scoring table of a major European league with 21 goals for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.
Also making the squad are Masoud Shojaei, 33, and Ehsan Haji Safi, 28.
Iran's national team has been coached for the past seven years by Portugal's Carlos Queiroz.
Queiroz has led Iran to their first back-to-back appearances at the World Cup, but will be hoping to improve on their winless appearance in Brazil.
