For oil and gas. The US wants to control (read: steal) the oil and gas supply. There are major pipe lines (planned) from Kazachstan and Uzbekistan through Afghanistan.
Also: with 150,000 military in Afghanistan, 100,000 in Iraq, and the 6th Fleet in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea America has got Iran completely encircled. Small wonder they feel threatened by the US! They are being threatened by the US! How would you feel if a dozen Hell's Angels with knives, bats, and chains were approaching you from all sides in a deserted parking lot?
Iran = oil and gas.
