Read More Analytical study of Arab-Islamic sources and mnemohistory historiography in the internal changes of Iranshahri society shows that the function of divergent forces in the decline of the Sassanid government and weakening the reactions of the revivalist forces of the Iranian government until the emergence of the Khorasanian movement was not simple without historical and social change. This article seeks to document the changes in the main social institutions and lower strata of Iranian society in the process of diverging from the Sassanid rule and then joining these components to the caliphate and then changing their orientation from caliphate to an unsuccessful attempt to reorganize power and revive the thinking of Iranshahri government. Offer the era of the Umayyad caliphs and using the method of interdisciplinary studies, ie information in history and close theories in sociology, to answer the question of what was the role and function of divergent forces in Iranian society from the decline of the Sassanids to the rise of the Khorasanian movement? It is assumed that the function of divergent forces in Iranian society since the middle of the Sassanid period has been more to secede from the Sassanid system. As at the time of the fall of the Sassanids, most components of power became divergent factors, and with successive defeats in the war against the Muslim Arabs, a period began to absorb and compromise with the new center of power, the caliphate. The Sassanid regime joined the new caliphate system. The findings of the research show that the infrastructure of developments related to the fall of the Sassanids and the continuation of the rule of the Arab governors, in terms of the function of divergent forces from the government of Iranshahri (in this period), has acted differently in internal and external dimensions. Despite the narrative and motivational views about this period, it seems that several factors were involved in the fall of the Sassanids and the continuing lack of government in Iran, factors that were mainly formed during the Sassanid period and some of them were strongly encouraged by Arab governors and immigrants. Contrary to the general context of historical sources and research, the reasons for incoherence in this period have been multifaceted.
