You Military Intelligence on Iraq was not faulty - it was created to justify an illegal war.
There are even Hollywood films about how the White House faked it all up, hardly a secret for even the stupid. How they exposed a CIA agent, when her husband went the press about the lies being told.

It is illegal to start wars to overthrow people you dislike. (in this case Saddam who the US supported 90% of the time and helped bring to power )

With Iran it has been the West constant interference in the government of their country that has created the hatred of American policy by people in Iran and the whole of the Middle East.
