The US government doesn't hate Iran, the US government hates that Iran doesn't have a compliant government in an oil rich state, near Russia which is another resource rich state.
Every action of the US can only be understood if there is wealth to be stolen.

The common denominator underlying the U.S. attacks and economic sanctions against all these countries is America’s weaponization of the world’s oil trade." What is it that you say to each other: "thank you for your service." Service to whom is left unsaid. https://www.democracycollaborative.org/whatwethink/venezuelas-oil-seizure https://www.democracycollaborative.org/whatwethink/venezuela...
