You could say the same thing with human rights violations about Saudi Arabia. 2018, Saudi Arabia finally allowed women to drive cars. Heck even China allows women to drive cars. US is still pretty buddy-buddy with Saudi Arabia despite the Saudis' Middle Eastern regional hegemony in the GCC Gulf Area and the fact that US calling for LGBTQ rights and women rights in Saudi Arabia is almost unheard of (https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/05/opinions/un-death-penalty-resolution-usa-lgbt-ghitis-opinion/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/05/opinions/un-death-penalty-res...), so there is more than a moral "protect world human rights" stance here at play when observing US policy, its more realpolitik. Also there is no like necessary-evil situation here, the other alternative is to enable the Middle Eastern states to embrace democracy and to get rid of hereditary dictatorships.
