>How did Iran-Israel relations even get this bad to begin with?

The 1979 Iranian Revolution installed the Islamic Republic and repudiated the previous government's relatively amicable diplomatic relations with Israel.

Ironic since this revolution was fomented by the CIA.

The CIA deposed the elected leader (people forget Iran was a secular democracy), and put in a puppet Shaw, which then the population revolted against.

So we are friendly with Israel, but only up to a point, if they get in the way, and are hit with some 'splatter', so be it.

Who is the "we"? Israeli lobby influence appears to be steadily increasing.

We is 'USA'. Yes, lots of lobbying, lots of support for Israel.

Until it interferes with Oil.

Then, well, if they get hurt a little, then that's just to bad. Why do we sell weapons to Saudi Arabia?
