چکیده:
With its ancient history, the Persian Gulf has always been one of the most high-traffic regions throughout the history of Iran. This region has long been of interest to all the rulers of the northern and southern shores of this gulf and even to colonizers. For this reason, the Persian Gulf has been one of the regions that has always attracted the attention of historians and travelers, and much research has been conducted to recognize the history of this gulf and the events that have occurred in it. Among the Iranian authors who have examined the history of the Persian Gulf, the work of Ahmad Faramarzi titled 'Karim Khan Zand and the Persian Gulf' holds a special position. By utilizing reliable and primary sources, this work recounts the period of the Zand dynasty's authority in the Persian Gulf and also addresses the power of the Arab sheikhs before the dominance of colonizers and the late Zand period until the establishment of the Pahlavi monarchy over this sea. Addressing the power of the Ka'bi tribe in this sea and the conquest of Basra by the Zands are among the strengths of this work. Overall, this work is of great importance in recognizing the history of the Persian Gulf during the Zand period. Therefore, the aim of this article is to examine the features and importance of the book 'Karim Khan Zand and the Persian Gulf' written by Ahmad Faramarzi.

Part Three; Karim Khan's Relations with the Inhabitants of the Persian Gulf In this section, Faramarzi details the dominance and actions of the Arab sheikh tribes of the coasts and ports of the northern part of the Persian Gulf; the Kaabi tribe 2 led by Sheikh Salman, Mir Mehna of Bandar Rig, Sheikh Hajar Kangani, and Zakki Khan's mission to attack Oman 3 .
Subsequently, according to Eastern authors, reference is made to the causes of the conflict between Iran and the Ottomans, Karim Khan's awareness of the Turks' weakness, and the murder of Omar Pasha (the governor of Basra) by his successor (Mustafa Pasha) (Faramarzi: 48-52); these points are mentioned, and Faramarzi's analysis based on sources is one of the noteworthy aspects of this work.
Faramarzi mistakenly refers to the author of Burhan al-Sadid fi Ahwal Al Abi Sa'id, Mohammad Ali Sadid Bandar Abbasi, regarding the support of the Imam of Muscat for the Basrans during Sadeq Khan's attack, and considers this action of the Imam of Muscat to belong to the year 1216 AH, not the war of Basra in 1192 AH; moreover, Western sources such as Malcolm's History of Sarjan and Wilson, as well as Arabic sources and the author of Tuhfat al-Alam, make no mention of the Imam of Muscat's support for the Basrans (Faramarzi: 56-58).
