There are a lot of fun topics for alternate history out there, but one of the best is "what if Eisenhower refused to let the CIA toy with Iran in 1953?"

People forget that from 1953 to 1979, Iran was very friendly to the US and looked out for our interests.  Iran did not participate in the 1973 oil embargo, for instance. But other than that, Iran mostly got along with the Saudis and the other Arabs. 

If we had left Mossadeq in power in 1953, he or his heir would have probably participated in the 1973 embargo.  And the conflicts Iran has with the Arabs may have flared up sooner.

Iran would actually be the perfect fit as US ally in that region. If you ignore the fact the US still hates everyone it hated from the cold war period
