 The First Gulf War Was About...Protecting the Iranian Fundamentalists !
Above I noted that US General Norman Schwarzkopf took over command of Centcom in 1988, and it is from this perch that he later fought the Gulf War in 1991.
Schwarzkopf acknowledges that he toured the Gulf giving out warnings on Iraq… [He] does not challenge the legitimacy of Saddam’s concerns over money and the islands, but defines his own mission as one of persuading the Gulf Arabs that Iraq had superseded Iran as their chief threat.
If “[General Norman] Schwarzkopf was [in Kuwait] on visits before the war, maybe a few times a year,” as an American diplomat told Milton Viorst, then it is naturally *from Schwarzkopf* that the Kuwaitis got the impression that America would protect them.

 THE IRANIAN: All the Shah's Men, Bruce Behrouz Bahmani
How the two primary American figures Kermit Roosevelt and Norman Schwarzkopf Sr decided to ignore the failed first attempt and continue on with the plans to overthrow Mossadegh and instate the Shah, in spite of Washington having all but conceded defeat and failure of the operation, is what blows me away.
Here we have two Americans, who knew Mossadegh was not at all a communist, since they themselves were the ones sowing the seeds of rumor and disinformation, acting on the strongest of convictions, professional commitment, or whatever you call that which possessed them to continue, and damn if they didn't succeed.
When Roosevelt and Schwarzkopf were done, Iran was "safely" in the hands of the Shah and the US who together enjoyed 25 years of uninterrupted oil supply and other misadventures.

Because Iran had become a U.S. enemy after Khomeini took over, and after the Iranians had taken people in our embassy hostage in 1979.
