Well Iraq attacked Iran back then, if anyone remembers the (back then) good friend of the USA Saddam Hussein, when he was told to lead a US proxy war against Iran.
The tide only turned when Saddam threatened Saudi Arabia, another good friend of the West, especially well known for 9/11 and the IS.
Then the Media told our brave citizens that Saddam now had weapons of mass destruction, threatened the whole world and was responsible for 9/11.
Ah.
And after what has happened in iran from 1900 until the Shah and Ajatollah Chomeini, who was a reaction to the West's ..errm.. "influence" (lmao) i really wonder how Iran could ever forgive anyone, in the West. The US sure would not.
Cut them a bit slack. Most Iranians i have met in England and Germany are rather modern and open-minded, often also well-educated. The religious nutjobs will lose influence, as soon as the iranian citizens have contact to the world, and some better life again.
I'd be more concerned of Iraq, and the mess we created there. After all, most IS commanders are former members of the iraquian army and Iraq's secret service. I wonder where they got those ideas from.
