Portuguese intervention in Hormuz

The Portuguese intervention in Hormuz (1514–1515) took place amidst a power struggle within the Kingdom of Hormuz. After the poisoning of King Saif-ud-Din in 1512, Hormuz was divided between Turan Shah and Rais Ahmad, who held control with the support of Ismail I of Persia. The Portuguese, led by Afonso de Albuquerque, intervened, eventually assassinating Rais Ahmad and establishing Portuguese control over Hormuz.
