Sayed Morad Khan

Sayed Morad Khan (Persian: سید مراد خان), was a Shah of Iran who reigned from January 23, 1789 until May 10, 1789.

Sayed Morad Khan and his followers overcame the weakened shah, killing him, decapitating him and throwing his head from the citadel.

After the murder of Jafar Khan, Sayed Morad became the new Shah of Iran.

Sayed Morad Khan held out for a short while in the city's citadel, but after reigning for less than 4 months he was forced to surrender and was executed.
