Persia collapsed into civil war in the 1760s. By the end of the decade, a Turkic tribe from Fars, the Dareshuri, captured the cities of Shiraz, Isfahan, Hamadan, and Yazd, establishing their dominance on the Persian plateau. In 1771, Eskander Qoli Khan declared the creation of a new dynasty, conquering the vast majority of the country by the end of the century.

Despite the decolonization efforts in other parts of the British domain, the return of Kishma and Ormus to Persia was delayed due to fears of Russian influence. In 1964, the Treaty of Teheran was signed, vaguely promising the islands' return in the near future. A definitive agreement in 1981 set the stage for the formal handover, completed between 1982 and 1984. Provisions included safeguarding British businesses, creating a free trade zone, and granting the islands semi-autonomous status within Persia.
