All those Mid East operations were way more for Israel than for the US. At least that's not a factor here.

Iraq was probably against Israel's interests. (Israel hates Iran, Iraq hated Iran. US taking out Iraq made Iran stronger which made Iran more threatening to Israel)
We did fund Iraq under Saddam during the Iraq-Iran war. By the 2000s, Israel absolutely wanted us to attack Iraq, for example https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-to-us-dont-delay-iraq-at...
Actually, they did not want US to attack Iraq:

He would have never been there if not for the USA in the first place...
This operation is to secure oil so that an attack on Iran doesn't destabilise oil supplies to the USA and Israel.
I feel like OPEC scales up/down production on a whim more than Iran produces.
Unless you mean the potential for a boycott like what happened back in the day. However the geopolitical situation has changed enough that i think that is exceptionally unlikely.
A boycott is one possibility, another is Iran closing the strait of hormuz, mines could take months to remove.

That’s one hypothesis. Better: it’s to destabilise Cuba so Rubio can deliver to his base.
That thick crude requires refineries to crack it...
What did Afghanistan have to do with Israel?
Nothing, I wasn't including Afghanistan in "Mid East"
That's a little like saying "North America" and then clarifying you didn't mean the united states.

The psyops online is quite amusing and insane, painting this as a victory for Venezuela. And weirdly by pro-Israeli account on Reddit.
By now my radar assumes Israel is somehow connected like many other events we've witnessed in the past. Venezuelas president was quite staunchly against Israel and it's interests, close with Iran too.
Israel is just an extension of the US in the middle east under the branding of Judaism. The desire is to weaken and eventually ignite the region in conflict. Already taking place between Saudi, UAE, Yemen etc. Weakening takes time.
