Siege of Mosul and Persian threat dominate dispatches
Reports from the front describe the siege of Mosul as ongoing with the Shah’s force reportedly numbering thousands, while Persian incursions reach the Gates of Cars as 40,000 Persians move in the area. Royal letters warn of scarce provisions, and efforts push to field troops by April to safeguard the frontier and recover city control if fall occurs.
