It won't matter...they'll still hate the US.

They Love The USA.

"It won't matter...they'll still hate the US."

Probably NOT the case with Iran. Granted the 1979 mullah dictator revolution was very bad. At that time, many Iranians tied their dislike of the Shah's harsher deeds, with US support for him.

Now a full generation later, able to live in the islamic revolution's paradise, I suspect many have the ability to view both sides.

There is a large Iranian contingent living in the US. Some since the 70s; some left before 1979 and others left BECAUSE of the new rigime. Jews, Christians and nominal muslims.

I think a big helping hand would be good policy, so it could be expected the ruling regime will do their best to obstruct and taint what we do.

If we can get the aid in there, and let them kno where it comes from, it will do us good.
