The Safavids were fighting the ottomans ,and most of the time lost with some victories. Is it possible for them to win against the Ottomans ,and have them survive until now?

as stated above, is it even possible for the Safavids to even win without ASB intervention?
yeah but how would you make the Safavids not fall by the 18th century?
That doesn't solve the problem either of course. From what I understand, freaked out the Ottoman populace so much that it was the Ottomans that adopted harem-raising Sultans rather than the other way around. Sometimes they did lots of executing, but it became rare after it ended up that there was only 1 Ottoman male remaining alive.Maybe adopt the Ottoman practice of the King executing all his brothers once he attained the throne to prevent them from trying to oust him later. Pretty grisly by modern standards, but effective.
