That's kind of like saying "The gazelle and the lion were getting along great until the the lion got hungry." The US got along fine with Iran too, when it was lead by the favored puppet. It wasn't long after the revolution that the US started backing Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Just because relations are good between nations at some point, there is no guarantee that the circumstances won't change.

You get all sanctimonious and angry when the other team does it, but when your team does the same thing, it's all good and fine and justified because the other side is a bunch of evil commies, Islamists, or whatever boogeyman you have this year.
