It was not related. We are not taking over Iraq and stealing its oil, the "war" is not actually a war, it is a joint military effort between the US Military and the military of Iraq against Islamic radicals.

What wars were started because of oil?

Several conflicts have been influenced by oil interests, notably the Gulf War in 1990-1991, where Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was driven by control over oil resources. The Iraq War in 2003 also had significant ties to oil, as securing access to Iraq's vast oil reserves was a key factor in the U.S. decision to invade. Additionally, the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) was partly fueled by disputes over oil-rich territories and control of oil production.
