Use the map to answer the question.

A map highlights the area of the Mughal Empire, which covers present-day India. A map shows three different shaded areas that are also detailed in an insert box. A key, labeled Extent of the Mughal Empire, corresponds to the shaded and outlined region on the map labeled Mughal Empire, located in present-day India. A second shaded area, labeled Safavid Empire, borders the Mughal Empire to the west and covers parts of present-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. A third shaded area, labeled Ottoman Empire, sits further west covering parts of North Africa, the Middle east, and Eastern Europe. A scale shows 400 miles and 400 kilometers.

The Safavid Empire was located in between two other empires. Using the map, identify and name these two empires.
