870 CE

Ya'qub ibn al-Layth al-Saffar captures the Tahirid city of Herat in 870.

His campaign in the Badghis region had led to the capture of Kharijites who will later form the Djash al-Shurat contingent in his army.

Ya'qub now turns his focus to the west and began attacks on Khorasan, Khuzestan, Kerman and Fars.

These attacks forces the Abbasid caliphate to recognize him as governor of Kerman.
