What are America's interests in the Middle East?

The Middle East has important strategic interests for the United States, which can be analyzed from three aspects: national security, economy and politics.

The Middle East is related to the national defense security of the United States. In recent years, some countries in the Middle East are exporters of unstable factors in the world, and many terrorists have been exported from these countries. These terrorists have created notorious terrorist activities all over the world, such as the 9 1 1 incident in the United States and the London subway explosion in the United Kingdom. These incidents have caused many innocent deaths and the impact is extremely bad. After these incidents, some organizations in the Middle East also publicly claimed responsibility for these incidents. Therefore, western countries have also intervened in the Middle East for their own national defense and security.

Economically, in order to ensure the stability of American oil prices. The United States is the largest oil importer in the world, while the Middle East is rich in oil reserves and the largest oil exporter in the world. Most of America's oil is imported from the Middle East. Therefore, it is very important for the United States to ensure the stability of oil prices and the safety of transportation routes in the Middle East. Once the air route is cut off or the oil price rises sharply, western countries will encounter an energy crisis.

Politically, maintain the influence of the United States in the region. The United States has always played the role of the world police and wants to dominate the world. Countries such as Israel are important allies of the United States in the Middle East. The United States must ensure the safety of its allies, or it will be laughed at by others. In addition, Jewish Americans have strong political influence in the United States. In order to win the political support of these people, the rulers also need to intervene in the Middle East.

Therefore, the United States does not want to see the Arab world unite, nor does it want countries in the Middle East to turn against each other and endanger regional and world stability.
