Attacking Iran has been on the table since the 70s. The US, as a matter of foreign policy, cannot abide major oil production outside of its control. This longstanding fact, combined with current acute political and economic factors is the driving force behind this war.

Going by the title, I guess countries outside of Asia don’t use oil at all.

Life is so much easier when you expand your consciousness and read a whole 60 words into the article you're commenting on.

Yeah, and if that's what you guessed "going by the title", then I'd guess you're functionally illiterate.
Do you also read headlines about the crisis in Cuba think, "Going by the title, I guess other countries don't have economic problems"?

You’re missing the point. Title is written to given an impression it’s the Asian countries that consume all the oil the produced.
