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 An invasion of Iran should not be taken on a whim.The US had just withdrawn from the Vietnam War in 1973 and the US population was too mentally exhausted for a war.Iraq was already interested in going to war against Iran to control the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.
The US backed the Shah of Iran who was an authoritarian monarch.
