If I weree Iran, I would fight to kick the US out of Iraq and Saudi Arabia while upgrading missiles sent to Syria and Hezbollah. Help the Syrians kick the Americans out of Syrian oil fields. Maybe set up missiles to take down US jets as they take off.

That statement is totally irrational, without any regard for reality, history or geo/politics.
People may be sad that Obama nor Clinton are not in the Whitehouse however, the days of sending plane loads of cash are over. Bush and Obama put and kept us in the Middle East. Trump wants out.
I want no American blood on my hands by supporting Iran.
Popular is a relative term. Diet Coke is "popular," but I don't know anyone that drinks that crap.
The eastern Syrian oil fields are in the hands of the Kurds. We stand guard there, but the revenue is going into Kurdish pockets. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Take a pill. Tons of Kurds live in Kurdish territory.
Syria looks to revitalize oil production to attract investors English
Mohammad Bassiki November 6, 2019
Immediately following the Oct. 13 Russian-mediated agreement between the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian regime for the SDF to relinquish territory under its control to the Damascus government, the Syrian army began deploying to secure oil wells in Raqqa province.
Two weeks later, the regime tightened its grip on the oil fields in southeastern Raqqa province after SDF forces agreed on Oct. 27 to withdraw 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) from the border with Turkey in accordance with a deal signed Oct. 22 by Ankara and Moscow in Sochi. This opened the path for the Syrian army to deploy across 90 kilometers (56 miles) of the border in northern al-Hasakah province, from Ras al-Ain to Qamishli.
The provinces of Homs and Hama, and part of Raqqa, toward the desert up to the Euphrates River in the east and the border of Iraq, came under the regime's control on Oct. 19, putting the oil and gas fields in this area, known as the Triangle, under the supervision of the Syrian Oil Ministry, which is now working to reconstruct damage from airstrikes and sabotage with the goal of eventually attracting investors. Meanwhile, most of the oil fields east of the Euphrates — the largest being al-Rumailan, al-Omar and Suwaydiya — remain under SDF control. In light of the Donald Trump administration's decision to deploy more troops to protect these fields from Islamic State (IS) attack, the regime’s odds of taking control of them are slim. Therefore, Damascus is focusing on tightening its grip on the oil fields in the center of the country and around Raqqa.
