{{Ayrıca bakınız|Sasani iç savaşı (589-591)}}
589'da savaşın seyri aniden değişti. İlkbaharda Bizans anlaşmazlığı çözülüp isyana son verdi ancak Martyropolis, Sittas adlı bir memurunun ihanetiyle Perslere düştü ve Bizans'ın geri alma çabası başarısızlığa uğradı, ancak ertesi yıl Bizans Sisauranon'da bir savaş kazandı ve onun komutanları [[Bleschames]] yakalamayı başardılar.

In 589, the course of the war was abruptly transformed. In spring, the Byzantine pay dispute was settled, bringing an end to the mutiny, but Martyropolis fell to the Persians through the treachery of an officer named Sittas and Byzantine attempts to retake it failed, although the Byzantines won a battle at Sisauranon later in the year and managed to capture its commander, [[Bleschames]]. Meanwhile, in the Caucasus, Byzantine and Iberian offensives were repulsed by the Persian general [[Bahram Chobin]], who had recently been transferred from the Central Asian front where he had brought a war with the [[Gokturks]] to a successful conclusion. However, after he was defeated by the Byzantines under [[Romanus (magister militum per Orientem)|Romanus]] on the river [[Aras river|Araxes]], Bahram was contemptuously dismissed by Hormizd IV. The general, enraged at this humiliation, raised a revolt which soon gained the support of much of the Sassanid army. Alarmed by his advance, in 590 members of the Persian court overthrew and killed Hormizd, raising his son to the throne as [[Khosrow II]] (r. 590–628). Bahram pressed on with his revolt regardless and the defeated Khosrow was soon forced to flee for safety to Byzantine territory, while Bahram took the throne as Bahram VI, marking the first interruption of the Sassanid dynasty's rule since their empire's foundation. With support from Maurice, Khosrow set out to regain the throne, winning the support of the main Persian army at Nisibis and returning Martyropolis to his Byzantine allies. Early in 591, an army sent by Bahram was defeated by Khosrow's supporters near Nisibis, and [[Ctesiphon]] was subsequently taken for Khosrow by Mahbodh. Having restored Dara to Byzantine control, Khosrow and the ''magister militum'' of the East [[Narses (general under Maurice)|Narses]] led a combined army of Byzantine and Persian troops from Mesopotamia into Azerbaijan to confront Bahram, while a second Byzantine army under the ''magister militum'' of Armenia John Mystacon staged a pincer movement from the north. At the [[Battle of Blarathon]] near [[Ganzak]] they decisively defeated Bahram, restoring Khosrow II to power and bringing the war to an end.
