US wouldnt give a damn weather Iran was democratic or theocratic dictatorship as long as its government could be persuaded to look after US interests. See KSA. Iran is not a democracy since the clergy has a veto on all political decisions including eligible candidates in elections. Which isn't to say the current Iranian government doesn't enjoy popular support. It does, but only because the majority of Iranians are poorly educated and constantly exposed to indoctrination. Hmmm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but the US president can veto political decisions etc can't he?

Provisions are in place for overriding a veto, and they have indeed been used. DON'T try to cast the US as being similar to Iran in terms of level of democratic freedom--you will lose, badly.
