Not long after, another engagement occurred between the two sides, in a place near the present-day Kut al-'Amara and called Madhar. On this occasion there is evidence that skirmishing was beginning to develop into more regular warfare; the element of surprise was lacking and preliminary preparations had been made.
Nevertheless the fall of Hira put the Iranians on their mettle and the youthful Yazdgard began to take the business of the Arabs more seriously.
Consequently it was with thelatter that they now chose to ally themselves, in order to ensure a greater measure of immunity in their inroads on Iranian territory, freed from the threat of attack from behind.

Muthanna was gone from Madinah, but his words continued to ring in the ears of the Caliph. He had planted a seed in the mind of Abu Bakr which germinated in a few days into a decision to take Iraq. He would not fight the entire Persian Empire, for that would be too big an objective in present circumstances. He would just take the Iraq of the Arabs, which meant the region west of the Tigris. Thus he would enlarge the boundaries of Islam and spread the new faith. At home there was peace, for with the defeat of the Kinda at Fort Nujair, Islam had been re-established in the land of Arabia.

Det är så man kunde garanteras och i och med alliansen förändrades även andra arabers inställning till Muthanna..http://www.ladda-upp.se/bilder/wkdmtxacbkao/ (s. 142)

Khalid reached the Mesopotamian area from Yamama and Bahrain, and his operations there are only imperfectly known and subject to dispute, but were chiefly against the Christian Arabs. It is probable that in the course of engagements with the Arabs of this region he met parties of the Iranian frontier forces.

De inkräktade, annars hade Pourshariati aldrig skrivit:
The defensive war efforts of the Iranians against the encroaching Arab armies, and what we believe to be the chronology of the first phase of the Arab conquest of Iraq
There is no evidence that I know of the Persians starting the war.Det är därför Donner skriver:
It is true that the Muslims led by Khilid b. al-Walid and later commanders received significant support from tribesmen of the B. Shayban in their conquest offensives against the Persians, but these Shayban tribesmen were under the command of al-Muthanni b. Haritha of the B. Sa'd b. MurraOch det är därför Akram skriver:

. Som sartus skrevs uppstår det förvirring kring semantiken. Jag håller med gällande Iranska folkgrupper (Iranic people) då det snarare handlar om etniska och lingvistiska förhållanden.
