Babylonians and Persians actually lived there - they didn’t need to invade. As far as I know, all successful invasions didn't last very long (but correct me if I'm wrong). Besides, the US is nowhere in vicinity of the area. It's half a world away. I think it's a bit more challenging to maintain supply lines through half the globe. It's not like you cross a few mountains and a desert and you're there.

Well the Babylonians did, but the Persians origionally came out of the North. So they were truely invaders.
