simplistic
editInsert non-formatted text here it is written "was a 1625 military confrontation between Georgia and Iran". If yo read the original Georgian and Persian sources you will see that it was more sphisticated than that. It had a lot to do with power-hunger and intrigues withingn the Safavid empire and not only between Giorgi Saakadze and other Georgian (rivals), but also (other) Safavid notables.

Commander: Not Shah Abbas
editIt does not state anywhere in the article that Shah Abbas is commanding this battle, instead it says Qarciha Khan but in the template box it says Shah Abbas. The article makes no mention of Shah Abbas and none of the sources I have found mention Shah Abbas, furthermore neither does the Georgian variant of this article.
