    I don't honestly think it's oil, it's rare earths we already have oil deposits larger then we can refine locally we don't particularly need their. What we don't have is rare earths, the oil is just a fun bonus to them.

    Lol one word. Greed.

    But there are tons of other reasons as well. Imperialism, anti communist, "the war on drugs", they hate brown people, etc. Pick one and I bet there's a billionaire pushing for this. If we control 2 of the top five oil deposits that's a win by it's self regardless of we take it out of the ground.
