Iran is one of the most important countries in the Middle East since it has numerous oil rigs and a very strategic location.Because of that America had placed a lot of his forces and investments in Iran so that oran can improve and by that be able to maintain the peace for America ath that region. But when the revolution happened, could not stand that a bunch of hairy geeks take over his investments. Of course because of the revolotion middle east had became less safer and the other countries in the also wanted the US to go away. this is what that made America against Iran and made it to support Iraq in a terrible war that ruined both countries.

Why us helped Iraq in war against Iran?

The U.S. supported Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) primarily to counter the spread of Iranian influence following the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

This support included intelligence sharing, economic aid, and military supplies, reflecting a strategic choice to contain Iran rather than support Iraq's authoritarian regime.
