I'm supposing it was in an effort to challenge the USA and keep them from getting a huge strategic advantage, but I don't know for sure

The only one I remember is ww2 where the soviets and uk did a joint invasion of Iran to cut off any possible Nazi Germany supply of oil and influence. Plus another supply point for the liberal regimes to the USSR. The UK stayed longer in Iran after ww2 and the rest is history.
