If the US wanted to boost trade, economy, and stability of the environment and peace in the reigon, and actually help the people of Iran

USA/Israel don't care about the Iranian people, that's merely a propaganda stunt.

Furthermore, India, North Korea and even China trade and help Russia in its wars.

An open conflict with China is undesirable by both parties almost in equal measure. NK is already sanctioned up the ass, an open conflict would lead to a conflict with China. And I would like you to notice that India is being gradually weaned off the Russian teat, so to speak. Take a look at India's trends in regards to defense-related imports. Its not a process that started recently, but almost a decade ago. They used to get +65% of their shit from Russia, but in the present that number dropped to 40% and they've been replaced by France and Israel. I have a hunch that these numbers will continue to lean geopolitically west-ward.
India buying of Russian oil has been deemed as an acceptable cost, as they value India's resources more - and India's greatest value is people, they have a lot of those. Cheap labour for western capital.
Hence the "mother of all deals" that was recently signed.

A genocidal aparthied and oppresive family dictatorships are considered US allies by your standards?

I'm sorry. Are you new to the whole USA business?
