The Battle of Iasi was a military battle between the Kazakh Khanate led by Tauekel and the Khanate of Bukhara led by the Shaybanid Baba Sultan.

In 1582, Abdallah Khan launched another campaign to Ulug-Tag to finally deal with Baba Sultan and his supporters. This time, the military campaign was successful. Among the participants was Shigai Khan, for whom this campaign became his last.^{[ citation needed ]} Fleeing persecution, Baba Sultan sought refuge with the Nogais. However, he soon devised a plot to kill the local murzas and seize their lands. His plans were uncovered, forcing him to flee once again. His next destination was Turkistan, where he aimed to resume the struggle for control over the city of Tashkent. ^[1] Later on the Summer of 1582, Tauekel completely defeated Baba Sultan's army and personally delivered the fatal blow. As a symbol of victory, he severed his enemy's head and threw it at the feet of Abdallah Khan.^{[ citation needed ]}

Even before this, Tauekel had managed to capture Baba Sultan's brother, Taiyr Sultan, whom Abdallah Khan's supporters had struggled to apprehend. Later, he also took Baba Sultan's son, Latif, prisoner. By the order of the Bukharan Khan, both were executed, this removed the threat of Baba Sultan's supporters' return to power. ^{[2] [3]}
