Explanation:

The text mentions that before the 1980s, the US had a relatively good relationship with Iran (but this changed after 1979 due to the revolution). The image shows a meeting (which could imply good relations) and Saudi Arabia is a major Middle - Eastern country with which the US has had long - standing economic (including trade) and political ties. Syria has had a more strained relationship with the US due to various geopolitical issues.

Saudi Arabia
