Iran Kharab ("Ruin of Iran") was a fortified camp in Dagestan (present-day Russia) founded by Iranian ruler Nader Shah (r. 1736−1747) in July 1742.
[1] It was located to the northwest of Derbent, a little inland from the Caspian Sea coast, and was founded in order to provide for a secure base against constant raids during his difficult campaign in Dagestan.
[1] According to the modern historian Michael Axworthy, Nader's bitter decision to name the camp "Ruin of Iran" was "hardly encouraging for his troops".
[1] Nader had his son Reza Qoli Mirza blinded at Iran Kharab.
