Had Khosrou II accepted the treaty, then it's likely that the Sassanid Empire would've been spared from Muslim conquest as the Persians would've had more time to rebuild, more territory, resources, etc. Meanwhile, the Eastern Roman Empire would've been able to focus more on the more homogeneous parts of their empire. Shame it didn't occur, in large part due to the pride of the Persians and them not willing to accept a treaty favorable to them unless forced to do so.. ....وسعت10
