The premise of this question, namely that Assyria was defeated by the Persians and/or Medes is incorrect. The Assyrian Empire was only ever defeated by the Babylonian Empire. These defeats were brought about by internal strife within the Assyrian Kingdom. The Persians were able to conquer Babylon and acquire the previously conquered Assyria.
