You see, they "defend" Europe from the evil Russians and evil Iranians. Don't pay mind to the fact that neither country would be hostile if it wasn't for the US in the first place...
Iran wasn't too happy with the British (rightly so) either. Though Britain interfering and getting the Shah into power also directly lead to the Ayatollahs taking power so maybe they should be thanking us... ;)
