About the battle
The Turbat-i-Shaikh Jam was fought in 1750 between the forces of the Durrani Empire under Ahmad Shah Durrani and the Persian faction led by Mir Alam Khan, who had taken control of Mashhad during the period of instability in Khorasan following the decline of the Afsharid dynasty. The engagement resulted in a decisive Afghan victory, the death of Mir Alam Khan, and the subsequent capture of key strongholds in the region, including the fortress of Nun.
