Middle East oil is really not important to the US anymore. Fracking technology and declining demand was on track to making the US self sufficient in fossil fuel.
However, it seems that trump, by rolling back Obama’s auto gas efficiency standard and increasing consumption, is working hard to make the US more dependent on oil imports again.

Iran hasn’t had formal diplomatic relations with the US since 1979.
