Didn't the US and Chabali have a falling out. I thought we hate him now?

There was a big falling out highlighted by allegations that he was in the employ of the Iranian secret service. But apparently there was a subsequent reconciliation because I read several things in the last six months talking about how he was back in the good graces of the administration or people at the defense department. He had a cabinet position in the government this past year that probably brought him into contact with American officials a lot.
