The US had always been a strong ally of Shah Pahlavi, the previous ruler of Iran before the Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution, and just as the new theocracy had rebelled against the corrupt regime of the Shah, so too did they rebel against the Shah's cynical ally, the US. Of course, in so doing, they set in motion a conflict that continues to this day in various ways, and is highly destructive. It was not a smart move.
