The liberation of Isfahan was a direct result of the Battle of Murche-Khort in which the Iranian army under Nader Shah attacked and routed Ashraf Hotak's Afghan army.[1][2] The day after Murche-Khort on November 16, 1729 Nader marched his army into Isfahan where the looting and mob violence that had gripped the city in the chaotic aftermath of Ashraf's departure ceased immediately. Order was restored with many of the Afghans hiding throughout the city being dragged through the streets and massacred without mercy in reprisals.
