Just for the record, I didn’t downvote you. I think that would be unkind.
And I hope you can forgive my joke; you’d be surprised how little the average European knows about the history of Iran.
Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?

The Sassanians alienated their Lakhmid allies -forcefully annexed them and slaughtered their ruling dynasty-. Everyone knows what happened to the Sassanians not too long afterwards.
Who knows if history will repeat itself but worth waiting and finding out.

Yes, everyone knows that if Gudenni, the Prince of Hadenach had just married Essane, the Princess of Hawali, all the bloodshed could have been avoided. Instead, they formed the Caliphate of Ultigo and their iron-fisted rule led to the siege of Khobenar, which left their kingdom in ruins.
Or maybe you overestimate everyone’s knowledge. 😉

but surely we have to go back to the Sassanids to find an analogue for current events
