Israel Unscathed After 100 Days of Attacks: The Anomaly No One Explains

Israel Unscathed After 100 Days of Attacks: The Anomaly No One Explains

One hundred days of hypersonic missile waves over Israel. More than one hundred declared attacks. And the country, the size of Murcia, remains standing. Tel Aviv almost intact, airports operational, electricity supply working. No missile defense system explains that resistance without saturation. The conclusion circulating in skeptical circles is as provocative as it is uncomfortable: either the missiles don't hit where they say, or they aren't meant to destroy Israel. The second option is gaining ground.

The Shadow of a Historic Alliance

Iran and Israel weren't always enemies. Under the Shah, they were strategic allies. Iran even supplied up to 70% of the oil Israel consumed, and the intelligence services of both –Mossad and SAVAK– collaborated closely. That cooperation broke down in 1979, but some analysts argue that common interests never completely disappeared. The shared enemy –Arab nationalism first, the West later– would have woven a pragmatic bond that today manifests in a controlled low-intensity conflict.

Theater to Fleece Europe?

The hypothesis gaining traction is that the current confrontation is a well-orchestrated "pantomime." While missiles fly over Israel, the real damage is inflicted on the energy infrastructure of the Gulf monarchies and on supply routes to Europe. Inflation, energy scarcity, and belt-tightening for European citizens would be the real objective, not the destruction of Israel. One participant in the analysis compares the situation to the Battle of Britain: "Iran hasn't taken the bait, it strikes where it causes economic damage." The rhetorical escalation, meanwhile, serves to keep media attention away from the real victims.

US Military Integration in Israel

A concrete fact reinforces the thesis: the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2027, published earlier this week, integrates US troops into the Israeli Armed Forces in a subordinate position. For skeptics, this turns the United States into a hostage of an alliance that drags it toward collapse, while Israel and Iran maintain a standoff that doesn't seek to annihilate the opponent but to wear down the West.

What the West Doesn't Want to See

The debate over the veracity of the conflict hits a media wall. Digital platforms label any questioning as "disinformation," and algorithms favor the binary narrative of good versus bad. However, the persistence of the anomaly –one hundred days of bombing without consequences– invites the question of whether the official story hides a more uncomfortable reality: that the war is a backdrop for reconfiguring the global energy balance. The answer, as the original analysis points out, may not be in the skies of Tel Aviv, but in the price of a barrel of Brent and in the electricity bills of European households.
