I also pointed out the Persan have another reason for refusing to demilitarize, an economic one. Their economy is very military oriented and the maintaining constant state of militarization generates a lot of cash flow and makes many jobs. Demilitarizing would have a very negative effect on their economy and leave many people in poverty. The Persan are going to put their own citizens well being over anything.

However I would like to point that Persan have a policy against preemptive strikes. They only really attack if attacked with some exceptions for the REALLY bad enemies, which the Xonexi don't count as. To them this whole being "a button away from war" is silly, why bother? No one has anything to gain from it but more death, a conflict that goes nowhere for no reason, and the winner just getting to brag about how their dick is bigger then the losers.

That being said they have no issue "accidentally" provoking an enemy to attack them and do want revenge still as they feel the Xonexi don't derserve what they got and seriously overstepped their boundaries and got away with it, but they'll only take the chance if they know they can win and would much rather be subversive about it. Right now is not the time and it may never be the time. The Persan are okay with not getting revenge just as long as they never give in to Xonexi demands.
