That was the period of the Iraq-Iran war, 1980-1988, Iran of course being a theocracy critical of Israel and the US satan. As such, perhaps on memory of things past, the US supported Saddam militarily in that war, which was fought to a stalemate.

Otherwise, you will have to provide references to this friendliness, and just what that meant. I think that it was in 1982, that Israel bombed Iraq's nuclear facility in progress.
