the oil is only a part of it though

its more about influence in the region and depriving resources from greater powers and etc

basically it all comes back to the jews

we prop them up to keep our foothold in the region and focus on destabilizing the rest so they can't prosper and help out our "enemies" like russia/china and the like.

in reality we should be allied with iran and be an ally to the 843787th coming of a persian empire that can actually stabilize the entire middle east through abhorrent violence and backwards religion
