モハンマド・シャー
Fath-Ali Shah later died in 1834, which resulted in a struggle for the Qajar throne between his two sons Ali Mirza and Mohammad Mirza. Khosrow aided Mohammad, who eventually managed to emerge victorious during the struggle, and crowned himself as the new shah of Iran, taking the dynastic name of "Mohammad Shah Qajar". Khosrow was then appointed as the governor of Isfahan as an award for his aid. On 22 October 1847, Khosrow was appointed as the governor of Kurdistan, thus succeeding Rezaqoli Khan Wali, whom he had arrested and sent to the Iranian capital Tehran. However, his governorship of Kurdistan was briefly, and lasted only one year, the same year which Mohammad Shah died.
