Iran’s attack on Israel was not a surprise, nor did it inflict significant damage. It was nonetheless a paradigm shift. This was the first long-distance, large-scale drone strike in history and the first time Iran attacked Israel directly rather than through proxies. The attack was a reminder of Tehran’s longstanding enmity and a call to reexamine our approach to the Islamic Republic.Iran’s hostility is not new. Some may have forgotten that in 1979, Iran’s revolutionary government seized the American Embassy in Tehran and held 53 diplomats hostage for more than a year.

That move, apparently, led founder Bryan Leach to decide the technology, the financials and the timing were finally right to go public.…
