The
Battle of Damghan or
Battle of Mihmandoost was fought on September 29 to October 5, 1729, near the city of
Damghan. It resulted in an overwhelming victory for Nader and the Safavid cause he had taken up, though by itself it did not end
Ashraf's rule in Persia, it was a significant triumph which led to further successes in the following engagements of the campaign to restore Tahmasp II to the throne. The battle was followed by another one in
Murcheh-Khort, a village near
Isfahan. Nader's forces were victorious in both battles, which led him to remove the Ghilzai Afghan dynasty from their short stay on the Persian throne. The Hotakis were forced back to their territory in what is now southern
Afghanistan.
