Abstract

This article examines the political relations between the Bukhara Emirate and Qajar Iran during the reign of Amir Shahmurad (1785–1800), focusing on the main political, religious, and territorial disputes in the frontier regions of Marv, Khorasan, and northern Afghanistan. The study shows how Amir Shahmurad’s consolidation of power in Bukhara coincided with the rise of Agha Muhammad Khan Qajar in Iran, leading to rivalry over strategic trade routes and border territories. Religious differences between Sunni Bukhara and Shia Iran further intensified their competition for regional influence. Despite periods of tension, diplomatic exchanges and negotiations occasionally emerged as both states sought to secure their frontiers and maintain stability. The analysis, based on Persian and Central Asian chronicles, highlights how the disputes over Marv and Khorasan reflected broader geopolitical struggles in Central Asia at the end of the 18th century.
