I'm not very versed in ME politics but I think the US's stance is more ideological than pragmatic. The us does not need Iran as imaginary enemy when it has real enemies elsewhere -factions in Pakistan, isil, etc. Even Putin is a bigger threat to US political clout in the world. On the other hand, because of political history, the U.S. is a very convenient enemy and israel is a good distraction too. But as we know from British and french history, the designation of foe and friend and ally can change when it makes politics sense. |
