"President Jimmy Carter offers a toast to Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi, calling Iran 'an island of stability in one of the more troubled areas of the world.' The 1977 New Year's Eve toast came to symbolize decades of American friendship with a repressive regime that Iranians increasingly despised. Little more than a year later, animosity toward the Shah and U.S. policies culminated in the Shah's ouster, the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini, and the beginning of decades of animosity between Iran and the U.S."
Frenemies Iran and America since 1900 Origins Current Events in Historical Perspective
Used to love Iran. Then the puppet regime we installed and said so many nice things about was overthrown by the citizens they'd repressed with our help and suddenly we didn't like them any more.
Sounds more like the politics in elementary school than anything befitting countries.
