The US & UK have been "working against" Iran for a lot longer.
Lest we forget; In 1953, the US & UK overthrew the parliamentary government and installed a brutal dictator, the Shah, who ruled until 1979.
In 1979, the Iranian polulace overthrew the dictator, and since then the United States has been essentially torturing Iran. First it tried a military coup. Then it supported Saddam Hussein during Iraq's invasion of Iran, which killed hundreds of thousands of people. Then, after that was over, the United States started imposing harsh sanctions on Iran. And it's getting worse.
The point is: Iran is out of control. It's supposed to be a US client-state, as it was under the Shah, and it's refusing to play that role.
