The province of Herat (Persian: ولایت هرات), was an eastern province of Safavid Iran, and along with the Mashhad province, it formed the administrative region of Khorasan. By the late Safavid period, it was composed of the administrative jurisdictions: Badghis, Bala Morghab, Durmi, Farah, Ghur, Jam, Karokh, Khvaf, Maruchaq, Panjdeh and Tun.[1]
In 1717, the local Abdali tribe rebelled and took control over the province. Military generals were appointed as governors of Herat by the Safavid government to re-establish authority by force, but all of them were unsuccessful.[1]
