At the core of it seems to be that US became ~self sustainable because of shale oil, so it no longer needs to maintain stability in the middle east. At the same time middle east is all sorts of broken since WW2 (and before) often thanks to western world creating arbitrary borders and playing chess there. Add on top that global north has been extracting value from global south (north frames it as "aid", but the flow of value is towards north...) and the news start to make sense...
