Any chance we'll see an American Embassy go up in Iran anytime soon? I'm not Middle Eastern, but I think that whole situation was about 16 different kinds of fucked up and it's about time we fix it.
Maybe if the Israel lobby by some miracle loses power

But wouldn't US influence in Iran help lessen the Anti-Israel sentiment in that nation?
>>3357159
lol no, Iran and Israel are always going to be at each others throats over regional power and influence
>>3357187
What if we could redirect Iran to be against Saudi Arabia instead? Shouldn't be too hard.

Iran is already a rival regional power and hates Saudi Arabia to begin with.

Not during this administration, no. There were very hard tries by the previous Obama administration to open up relations and ties with the Iranians but under Trump its not going to happen, especially with the latter going a full 180 and trying hard to keep hard links with the Saudis.
>>3357190
We have even more invested in Saudi Arabia than we do in Israel.
Which is why ignore the fact that almost all supposed the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
>>3357190
They already fucking hate the Saudis, Yemen is a proxy war between them
>>3357239
We'd still be more invested and allied with Iran if not for the 1979 Revolution happening.

Well whose fault was that?

Eternal Anglo without even meming. Truman saw through Churchill's butthurt over getting blown out by Mossadegh at the World Court and it was Eisenhower's political naivety that let the Americans end up being the muscle manipulated by the British to fuck things over by getting Mossadegh taken down through the CIA under Kermit Roosevelt.
