In the early hours of Wednesday, Iran launched a coordinated missile barrage against American forces stationed in Jordan, a strike the US military says its air defenses successfully neutralized. The attack shattered a five-day quiet that some had dared to read as the beginning of restraint, arriving precisely as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu sat with American leadership in Washington. History rarely announces its turning points so plainly: Tehran chose the moment of maximum diplomatic visibility to remind the world that it, too, holds a place at the table of consequence.
