Thesiege of Van occurred in 1548 whenSuleiman the Magnificent attackedIran in his second campaign of theOttoman-Safavid War (1532–1555).

The city ofVan, which has long been strategic inEastern Anatolia, was surrounded, put under siege, and bombarded. On this campaign, Suleiman was accompanied by the French ambassadorGabriel de Luetz, since France wanted to maintain a good relation with the Ottoman Empire. Gabriel de Luetz was able to give decisive military advice to Suleiman, as when he advised on artillery placement during the siege.^[2]
