Two reasons: oil and Israel.
However, since American is now the largest producer of oil in the world, there is less reliance on the middle east.
While there is broad agreement that no one in America wants further war in the ME (with American troops), there would also be reluctance to abandon Israel.
If Iran were to go to war with Israel, America would intervene.
Why can't Iran wait a few years, before trying to destabilize the ME and enact genocide?
