Iran Kharab
Iran Kharab ("Ruin of Iran") was a fortified camp in
difficult campaign in Dagestan.[1] According to the modern historian Michael Axworthy, Nader's bitter decision to name the camp "Ruin of Iran" was "hardly encouraging for his troops".[1] Reflecting on the difficulties which Nader encountered during his campaign, Axworthy notes that the irony of the name had taken a dreadful twist, proving itself "truer than Nader could have imagined".[1]
Nader had his son Reza Qoli Mirza blinded at Iran Kharab.[2]
