Not really. Israel’s primary concern is removing Iran as a regional adversary. I’m not saying they would say no to stealing their oil industry, but it’s not really the primary motivator. They’d be perfectly happy with the US swooping in and controlling Iran’s oil industry as long as it left them free to basically act unobstructed in Lebanon and Palestine.
Again, that comes back to the fact that Israel and the US have fundamentally different goals here, which is a huge issue for Trump.
But then they want the land and the oil.
