The Battle of Damghan or Battle of Mehmandoost was fought from September 29 to October 5, 1729, near the city of Damghan. On one side of the battle were the Afsharid Persians commanded by Nader Shah Afsharid. On the other side were the Hotaki forces led by Ashraf Hotaki. The Persian army consisted of Qizilbash tribesmen of the northern Afshar tribe while the Hotaki forces consisted of Afghans, Tartars, Kurds, and Ghebers. The battle was followed by another one in Murcheh-Khort, a village near Isfahan. Nadir Shah's forces were victorious in both battles, which led him to remove the Ghilzai Afghan dynasty from the Persian throne. The Hotakis were forced back to their territory in what is now southern Afghanistan.
