Iran in the 1970's was very pro-west, and they would listen to us. Iran's leader was our "puppet." The Islamic revolution overthrew the pro-west government. They are now very anti US. The Iran hostage crisis is a good example of them not liking them. We supported Iraq/Suddamm Hussein. The new president is finally starting to make deals. We helped Iran help build up Iran from the 50's to the 70's because we thought it would be great for the US to have a nuclear power next to the Soviet Union. There is an agency that goes around and inspects atomic weapons around the world.
