Siege of Baghdad (1625–1626)
Part of the Ottoman–Safavid War (1623–1639)
The siege of Baghdad began as an Ottoman re-conquest attempt against the Safavids. The Safavids took Baghdad in 1624, leading to the Ottoman Grand Vizier Hafız Ahmed Pasha forming an expedition to retake Baghdad in 1625 in Ottoman Iraq. Although they breached the outer fortifications, Persian reinforcements under Shah Abbas stopped them.
