There is a deep hatred of America in Iran, I don't know how far back it goes- but I know first hand it goes back at least as far as the mid-late 1970s when I was in college with Iranian students. I had never felt the rage and hatred they had for this country before from any group. The students were here to take advantage of our education system, but had no use for us at all. They saw us as ignorant and spoiled, and blamed us for all of their problems. Having any type of reasonable discussion with them that might have led to some understanding on both sides was totally impossible. Come to think of it, I am reminded of the attitude of todays moonbats- put your fingers in your ears and scream at anyone that doesn't agree with you 100%.
Their hatred of us is so deep, I am convinced if we decided tomorrow to allow or even help them with their “goals” like destroying Israel they would continue to hate us- it is easy to pick a target to blame all your problems on, then you have no responsiblity yourself to make changes for the better.
