Name and explain at least 3 reasons\events that have contributed to the tense relationship between u. s. and middle eastern countries? include factors that led up to each event

Three events that have contributed to the tense relationship between the US and Middle Eastern countries are: US support for Israel; US conflict with Iran, and the Gulf Wars.

Explanation:

US support for Israel is controversial for many in the Middle East, particularly for those in Arab nations. They feel the United States is helping to support Israeli interests and power and this puts the Palestinians (who most Arab nations support) at a disadvantage.  A key event in this conflict was the Munich massacre. The United States is also unpopular in the Middle East because they have asserted their influence in aggressive ways during the Gulf Wars where they invaded and engaged in combat in Iraq, eventually deposing of Saddam Hussein in the Iraq War.  Historically, the United States has not been supportive of the Iranian Revolution and there has been hostage takings and cold diplomatic relations between the two countries since the late 1970s when the Iranian Revolution occurred. In 1979 Iranians held American diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days.
