  • Former NSA director: Iran deal won't hold, the real threats are still coming

    Former NSA director: Iran deal won't hold, the real threats are still coming
    2026/06/29
    Former NSA Director and US Cyber Command chief Admiral Mike Rogers warns that the Iran ceasefire has resolved none of the underlying threats — missiles, proxies, or the nuclear program — and that Iran's Revolutionary Guard is now more powerful and more aggressive than before the conflict began.

    Admiral Rogers, who led both the NSA and US Cyber Command as a four-star Navy admiral before moving to the private sector with Team8 and Aurelius Capital, delivers a sobering assessment: the ceasefire bought time but solved nothing. On Iran's posture, he argues that the war produced the opposite of what the US and Israel hoped; rather than deterring Tehran, it has convinced the Revolutionary Guard to double down. "The takeaway is to be more aggressive," he explains of the IRGC's internal argument. He also flags a new and underappreciated threat: Iran now understands it holds an economic weapon in its ability to disrupt Gulf commercial shipping, and will make that a foundational element of strategy going forward.

    On cybersecurity, Rogers breaks from the dominant narrative: while the world obsesses over AI-powered attacks, almost no one is deploying AI defensively. He argues that a determined attacker will eventually get in, and that resilience, not just defense, must become the new standard. He explains why he believes Israel and Silicon Valley are the only two places in the world with the culture, talent, and capital to solve this problem at scale.

  • Iron Dome engineer: Israel must be the 'FedEx for space'

    Iron Dome engineer: Israel must be the 'FedEx for space'
    2026/06/02
    Hilla Haddad Chmelnik certified the Iron Dome for combat, led Israel's national innovation policy, and now aims to make cargo delivery to orbit as routine as a courier shipment, at a few hundred dollars per kilo.

    In this wide-ranging conversation, Chmelnik reveals that the Iron Dome was built on what we now call machine learning long before the term existed, and that she would not redesign a single component today. She explains how her startup, Moonshot Space, is developing a kinetic launch system: ground-based electromagnetic acceleration that pushes payloads to orbit without rockets, cutting launch costs dramatically.

    "We want to be the FedEx to space," she says. On Israel's strategic future, her warning is blunt: if Israel fails to plant a flag on the moon, it risks becoming geopolitically irrelevant: "We will not be a country."

    Chmelnik also offers a rare insider critique of Israel's innovation gap: the country ranks top 10-15 globally in AI readiness but is trending downward, is failing to tap Arab citizens, ultra-Orthodox, and peripheral communities for top talent, and still lacks a civilian space law separating commercial from defense use. She draws a direct line from the trauma of living under rocket fire to the entrepreneurial resilience that makes Israel's startup ecosystem unique, and predicts a post-war startup boom once veterans get two to three years of quiet academic time.
