The Battle of Izki was a battle that took place in June 1808 AD, between the First Saudi State led by Mutlaq bin Muhammad Al-Mutairi Against the Iranian campaign led by Saadi Khan and Oman led by Said bin Sultan and his brother Salem bin Sultan. This is considered the most intense battle in which the First Saudi State and Iran faced each other, and it ended with the victory of Mutlaq bin Muhammad Al-Mutairi and the Saudi forces, killing a large number of them and taking their tents, most of their belongings and cannons. As a result, the Iranian campaign was suppressed and withdrew to Iran, opening the way for Mutlaq bin Muhammad's forces to the villages of Bani Rawaha at the entrance to Wadi Samail, and the Samail Fort opened its doors to the Wahhabis.
