Agha Mohammed was a Turk, the Qajars being a turkic people closely related to the Azeris, Turkmen and other Oghuz Turks. The Qajars would not have called themselves kings of Persia but instead kings of Iran as that was the native name for the country. Persia was the designation used by Europeans for the country so I don’t see the problem with using it. The Zandis were not Persian but of lurish descent so no matter how one would twist it, the Qajars did not take the throne of Iran away from the Persians, as they didn’t rule to begin with.
