The U.S. was interested in an alliance with Iran primarily due to its strategic geopolitical location and rich oil reserves, which were crucial during the Cold War for countering Soviet influence in the Middle East. Additionally, Iran served as a key ally in promoting stability in the region and safeguarding American interests, particularly in terms of oil supply security. The alliance also aimed to foster economic ties and military cooperation, reinforcing the U.S.'s presence in a vital area of global politics.

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 An invasion of Iran should not be taken on a whim.The US had just withdrawn from the Vietnam War in 1973 and the US population was too mentally exhausted for a war.Iraq was already interested in going to war against Iran to control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