>Iran wants to spread its sect of Islam, and that is at odds with a lot of the Arab world
That had nothing to do with the US.
>I don't see how the coup in 1953 means that we don't have a distaste for Iran today
I understand that the Iranian Revolution is an obvious reaction to the 1953 coup, which made the two nations distaste one another for a gooood time. Without oil, no coup. Without the coup, one less big reason for Iranians to put Islamist to power and chant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_to_America
All these things became complicated because of oil. Switching to renewables would slowly but surely simplify all of this.
