I remember seeing Iranian military personel at a training site in germany, that was in the late 50s, before the hostage thing. Remember, We stated all this when we had the elected leader deposed, and the shah brought in. Then protesters started to "disappear" thanks to the secret ploice, and rumor has it we trained and condoned some of it.. So most of our european allies will continue to trade with them, saudi arabia will become a nuculer nation.
