If the Romans can't invade Persia, neither can the Ottomans.

Fun Fact: During the era of Sokollu Mehmed Pasha (the Ottoman grand vizier who governed the Empire after the death of Suleiman), the Ottomans aimed to conquer the Persians by opening a canal from the Don River to the Volga, connecting it to the Caspian Sea. This project greatly alarmed the Russians and the Safavids. The Ottomans intended to solidify their authority in Central Asia and present-day Russia and conquer Iran. The Don-Volga canal project was attempted but eventually abandoned. Centuries later, Russian Tsar Peter completed the canal project from where the Ottomans had left off and increased his power in the region.

Wars aren't caused by religions - they are just convenient excused.
Wars always happen for strategic reasons

One thing is to invade. Another is to conquer and keep it. The latter always being the hardest.

फ़ारस पर क़ब्ज़ा उस्मानियों के लिए लाभ लाता लेकिन साथ ही कई हानियाँ भी मिलती। उस्मानी साम्राज्य वैसे ही इतना बड़ा था, अगर फ़ारस पर सफलतापूर्वक क़ब्ज़ा कर भी लेते, तो इतने बड़े भूभाग को सही ढंग से सँभालना मुश्किल हो जाता।

Without all the transportation and communication tech, that kind of expansion was not needed.

[kevinkadirbasaran]

If you read Turkish history Ottoman main aim was only conquering Europe, not even Anatolia. Ottoman Empire needed to take control of Anatolia in order to stop the other clans’ rivalry and continue their walk into Europe. But Persian Shiite were a big threat in Sunni ottoman land. And attacks of Portuguese to Mamluks in Egypt put the holy lands of Makka and Madinah in danger. So Ottoman Empire needed to turn their face to the east.

[savioblanc]

The Ottomans couldn't conquer Persia because they called themselves the new Roman Empire and Rome doesn't conquer Persia.

[Popo-hior]

And those that did manage to conquer the Persian territories, ALWAYS adopted their culture and customs. Persia was never ever truly conquered and incorporated into another empire, it was always the seat of power of any empire that took control of it.

The recently v2.0 Roman vs Persia war game I've bought be like:

[uuuuuuuu-kocr]

The Umayyad Caliphate: I invaded Persia but could not conquer Byzantium
Ottoman Empire: I invaded Byzantium but could not conquer Persia

[SherKhan-em]

The Arabs conquered Persian empire and Roman Empire at the same damn time :-)

Because no one was using oil back then and it wasn’t worth the effort to control without some sort of monetary commodity.
