Speculation, devaluation of the dollar have spiked oil prices. I dont think it has anything to do with the war in the middle east

The US isn't fighting to make oil more available, it's fighting for a handful of corporations to control a limited resource. Oil companies benefit even more as prices rise. Blowing up resources makes them more scarce, fueling speculation which drives prices up.
