are those the major interests of the usa in the middle east…I don’t know…maybe someone here knows more…
Yes, besides the desire of playing Big Daddy.

Resources and greed, are most often always playing a part.
Well, the US’s undying devotion to Israel is in part because of their more fundamental interest in oil. Also, the instability of the ME does actually pose a considerable security threat to the US. And then there is Sanjay’s point about how the US wants to remain “Big Daddy”, which is also a factor, though less than it used to be - a lot of the American populace has grown really weary with playing that role. So while there’s more than just oil at stake, i’d still say oil is probably the biggest concern.
Israel, oil, and I would add controlling who has access to nuclear weapons.
On the nukes, someone has to control it.
Establishing a World Empire, is the ONLY concern involved, all else is merely distraction and tools being used for the process.
