History
The old citadel of Bampur, on a hill about 100 feet (30 m) high 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the river, fell into ruins. A new fort called Kalah Nasseri, was built at Pahrah, which is known as Iranshahr, 15 miles (24 km) further east, in the 1880s.
Fahraj, now called Iranshahr, which in 1911 had a population of about 2,500, has become more important than Bampur. Fahraj, which is also known as Pahura (or Paharu or Puhra), is by some identified as the Poura where Alexander the Great halted on his march from the Indus Valley.
It was Historically ruled by Rakshani Baluchs of Iran Under Their Ruler, Shah Mihrab Khan, had led several campaigns against Persians laid waste into the lands, particularly Luristan
