Attack

In 1802, the Wahhabis plundered Karbala, which marked the resurgence of the Shia-Wahhabi conflict. Additionally, the Wahhabis began to press the Ibadhi Omanis, and in 1812, they defeated both the Qajars, who came to the aid of the Omanis, and the local Omani forces at Izki. Following this, the Omanis once again requested help from the Qajars, and primarily, the town of Izki was retaken. The Wahhabis, who had laid siege to Bahrain and Muscat, were defeated, and the cities were saved from danger. Subsequently, Qajar forces launched an attack on Al Ain. In the end, the Omanis, a branch of the Khariji sect whose lands had been completely occupied, regained their territories with the help of the Shia Qajars.
