Answer:

ok so the Safavid army finally met the Ottomans in the field at Chaldiran, in northeastern Iran. Selim, at the head of an exhausted, hungry army, probably didn't send Ismail a thank you note, but he should have. Hindsight is 20/20, but Ismail was clearly dooming his army to defeat by offering battle.
