The reason the united states invaded Iran is because when we were in Iraq after 9-1-1 the terrorist fled to other country`s hoping to get aay from u.s. troops. Although there already were terrorist in Iraq,Afganistan,Iran,Saudi rabia, And Pakistan.

At the time it was part of the containment policy of the United States and a result of the Cold War conflict that had been raging since the end of World War II.

Why didn't the United States declare war on Iran after the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis?

There are three major reasons:Iran is a very difficult country to invade militarily. It is protected on several sides by imposing mountains. Iran has quite advanced military technology and Iranian soldiers are among the most well-trained in the region. An invasion of Iran should not be taken on a whim.The US had just withdrawn from the Vietnam War in 1973 and the US population was too mentally exhausted for a war.Iraq was already interested in going to war against Iran to control the province of Khuzestan. As a result, the US could support Iraq to create a proxy war and not endanger US lives.
