In 1601, the Persian general, Allahverdi Khan, conquered Lar, and put it under quasi-autonomous governorship.

This was after its governor behaved treacherously towards Allahverdi, forcing him to capture Lar.

[1] In 1602, the governor of Bahrain, Rukn al-Din Mas'ud, who was the brother of the Hormuzi vizier, declared independence from Hormuz.

Allahverdi saw this as a great opportunity to seize Bahrain since the Safavids saw it as belonging to Fars province.

Several engagements followed on land and sea during which Mu'in al-Din Fali was wounded and later died.
