Abstract

The battles between the 'Ottoman empire and the Safavid sultanate for control over Shi'ite cities in Iraq and Irvan during the reign of SULTAN MURAD IV and also, the ten year struggle and conflict between the Saffavid kings and 'Ottoman/Turkish sultans to reach military dominance over Iraq and Irvan is considered a short but important part of the history of 'Ottoman Empire and Safavid relations. In this period, the Safavids made no effort to restore their sovereignty over Shi'ite cities of Iraq. They even forced to submit a contract which was to Turkish interest. The Shi'a community, in the meanwhile, was the one to pay the price for the economical-military ambitions of SULTAN MURAD IV in expanding eastern borders on one hand, and indolence and complacence of SHAH SAFI on the other, with their blood and the loss of their sacred cities. By virtue of the ZAHAB CONTRACT, the 'Ottoman Empire gained some advantages in political, ideological, and economical realms. As for the political dimension, they controlled military campaigning of Sultan Murad. And by isolating Iraqi sacred cities from the Safavids' Sultanate and officially annexing Iraq to the 'Ottoman Empire, they damaged the ideological sovereignty of Safavids. Also in economical dimension, they strengthened their control over economical sources of Iraqi SHI'ITES by closing down western commercial roads of Iran. The idea of some orientalists such as Bernard Lewis and Rudi Matthee that the religious and ideological dimensions of sacred cities of Iraq are disregarded can be corrected and completed.
