The battle resulted in victory for Mūsá Khan and Ali Padshah. The former was proclaimed ruler of the declining Ilkhanate, while the latter emerged as its dominant figure. Background Following the demise of Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan in 1335, the Ilkhanate plunged into a period of political fragmentation and instability. With no male heir, several groups rose, each competing for ascendancy over Persia, a state ruled by the Mongols. Lacking a definite succession, violent clashes between Ilkhanid nobles, generals, and territorial governors ensued, and weakened the legitimacy of the central government even further.
