An invasion of Iran should not be taken on a whim.The US had just withdrawn from the Vietnam War in 1973 and the US population was too mentally exhausted for a war.Iraq was already interested in going to war against Iran to control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