ناوگان دریایی ایران عصر قاجار در خلیج فارس الفارسية 1448

The Iranian Naval Fleet in the Qajar Era is a historical study that examines the formation and development of Iran’s naval forces during the Qajar period through the analysis of historical sources, documents, and archival evidence.

The author explains that the Persian Gulf has long been one of the world’s most important waterways and that the thirteenth century AH (nineteenth century CE) was a crucial period in the history of Iran and the Persian Gulf region. During this era, international and regional powers competed with one another to expand their influence over the Gulf and secure strategic control of its maritime routes.

Following a long period of internal conflicts and civil wars after the fall of the Safavid dynasty, the early Qajar rulers sought to establish a naval fleet in the Persian Gulf as part of their efforts to strengthen Iran’s presence and authority in the region. The book explores these attempts, the challenges they faced, and the broader political circumstances that shaped Iran’s maritime ambitions during the Qajar era.

Through its historical analysis, the work provides valuable insight into Iran’s naval history, regional power dynamics, and the role of maritime strategy in nineteenth-century Iranian politics.
