The US coup that overthrew Iran's Prime Minister happened less than 30 years before in 1953. Not to mention the other coups and election interference in other Muslim-majority countries like Lebanon in 1957 and Indonesia in 1967. Did Iran think it was special, that the Great Satan wouldn't come for them when they were no longer useful?
And then, of course, the US deployed troops in the Gulf War only a decade later in 1990. I really don't think it was unpredictable.
