Let's see, on one hand he's seen as a valid successor to the Safavids due to his overwhelming military genius, political acumen, and administrative reforms. On the other hand in the final days of his reign he became insane, a psychopathic paranoid shadow-jumper as well as completely delusional, and even blinded his eldest son.

And his ending of the Safavid dynasty brought massive political instability to the final Persian Empire which lead to the Zands sacking various cities and centers in Iran and Khorasan/Greater Iran.

Which would eventually but directly to the Qajars filling the power gap who would also fucking reverse ever single god damn territorial, military, and political gain the Safavids and Nader Shah made against the Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, British Empire, and Portugal.

He's hard to really quantify in the objective of long term standard with his influence on Iran. Also even though he was technically of Turkish stock, he was pretty much from a highly Persianized family and regarded as a very handsome lady-killer in his youth.

Couldve been crushed easily by any European power or the ottomans

>>406668
But he fought against the Ottomans and wasn't crushed?

>>406668
Except he defeated the Ottomans in his first war hard, and would've beaten them in the second one until revolts started happening back home in Persia. Also he scared off the Russian Empire, so you have no idea what you are talking about.
