it's pretty easy, as Flilix hinted at Saudi Arabia is engaged in an islamic cold war with Iran over religion and regional influence and additionally Iran has called for the destruction of Israel for decades, so both of the US's/West's most influential allies in the region are unhappy with Iran gaining power/respect

Perhaps we shouldn't have invaded Iraq who was controlled by a Sunni Ba'athist which is a majority Shiite country.

perhaps the US shouldn't have replaced a democratically elected PM with an eratic and brutal dictator/monarch in 1953 (the CIA documents on this are public), just to get american/british petrol corps a 50% cut of Iran's oil revenue

he obviously was replaced by a hardcore theocratic regime in 1979, which as a result was very much anti-US/West

the theocratic takeover in Iran prompted the US to back Saddam Hussein, which led to the rest of the middle eastern chaos
