some lies in the video: romans never destroyed any sassanid city, it was sassanids who started the war and destroyed lazica and antioch.

arabs won almost all wars against sassanids from the start, it was only in the battle of the bridge, which was a defeat for arabs because the sassanid elephants scared the arab horses, nothing persian victory about it.

the iraqis never "made peace" with the arabs, they are arab themselves and welcomed the victors, the arabs, after years of heavy taxation and military rule by the tyranical persians.

no persian surrendered to arabs because they thought that persians would come to "liberate" them. it was arabs who liberated them from heavy taxation and cruel military rule. the people of the cities did not care who controlled them, persians or arabs, it was only the governors who resisted the arabs, but the people resisted the governers thats why they surrendered.

there was no resistance in Fars. thats a big lie, it surrendered as soon as any other regions of persia.

another lie is that arabs desecrated fire temples, massacred and enslaved the local population, thats a big lie, arabs never touched the local population, they only massacred the soldiers who refused to convert or be forced into slavery.

They liberated Iraq from the occupying Persians along with The Arabian gulf. They did not want to go into Iran But the butt hurt Sassanids couldnt take the hint they are not welcome in the Arabian peninsula anymore. So the Arabians went to cut the head off the snake. As some historians would say
