America? Wanting instability in an oil-rich region? That's pretty much as optimally equidistant from the most major first-world economies as is possible?

No. Way.

America does want an unstable middle east but tbf the middle east is basically next to Europe, which really felt the past few refugee crises.

America also seem to want an unstable Europe recently

An unstable Europe buys American weapons.

And it easier to scare, control and exploit.

Well, the last time Europe was super unstable was WW2 where they burnt the whole thing down by themselves. That led to the US ascension. The USA would be super happy for another chance like that.
