* Trans-Himalayan War of 1967.
==== Persia ====
* '''1975''': Due to new competition in the Global Oil Crisis, the Mesopotamian League begins funding separatists in the semi-autonomous Emirate of Muhammara in Persia, hoping to deprive Persia of it's richest oil region, and increase their standing with the addition of a new member.
* '''1976''': Having seen how poorly Persia fared in the Tabarestan conflict, the Emirate of Muhammara declares independence from Persia with the backing of the ML. However, they underestimated the reforms made to the Persian military, that soon overruns the breakaway state, and along with help from the British Gulf Residency, they blockade the gulf, forcing the Mesopotamian League to back down.
* '''1978-1979''': Emboldened by their quick victory, and due to Russia being occupied by the Alyeskan War, Persia backs a royalist coup in Tadjikistan and a Civil War ensues. Due to minimal and ineffective Russian support to Turkestan and the Tadjikistan National Republicans, the royalists are victorious.
* '''1981''': After their string of victories, Persia feels confident enough to take direct action against Russia, leading to an invasion of Tabarestan, which easily folds. Loyalists free to the north, and declare independence as Talyshstan. Russia, that had expected a slow Persian advance, quickly sends troops to Talyshstan to prevent Persia from occupying it. Overconfident from their recent victories, and Russia's defeat in the Alyeskan War, Persia continues their advance, but they are stopped and routed by the Russians, who have taken strong defensive positions. As a result, a complicated ceasefire is announced. On paper, Tabarestan officially surrenders the whole territory to Persia, but the north remains occupied by Russian troops and the Talyshstan government.
