The whole thing is a mess and whatever the "news" and the politicians say about it is 90% lies, IMHO.

Thats funny. They bailed out Citibank and hold enough US bonds (by loaning money to you) to sink the markets if they dump them. Do tell us how much aid they receive so that we can all be educated.

They have thousands of soldiers on the borders. They lost two policemen to an ISIS terrorist in Riyadh a couple of weeks ago. While you people pet the Iranians they are tearing them up in Yemen. If they did something wrong to you bring it out. Otherwise you should just say thank you to them for loaning you money so that you dont have to pay your own way.
