Shah Hussain Hotak (

Persia from Isfahan, Hussain ruled Kandahar,[4]
but was defeated.

Ashraf Khan's death in 1729 marked the end of the very short lived Hotak rule in Persia (Iran), but Kandahar was still under Hussain's control until 1738 when Nader Shah conquered it. It was only a short pause before the establishment of the last Afghan Empire[5] in 1747.[6][7]
