We get a very small % of our oil from the Middle East.
The majority is from Mexico, South America, Canada,

You're half-right. Yes, we do get most of our oil from non-middle east sources, but oil is a fungible market.

If prices for Middle Eastern oil go up, global oil prices will go up. If the supply in the Middle East is restricted, global supply is restricted.
