Israel should issue an ultimatum to Iran's leadership to end the war and release hostages or face severe consequences, as Tehran remains the true adversary behind Hezbollah and Hamas. Israel must act to protect its sovereignty and skies, rather than continuously evading the threat. Russian President Putin's strategy of threatening nuclear retaliation against Ukrainian ballistic missiles has been effective in deterring direct threats. Critics warn of global escalation, but Israel cannot remain vulnerable and paralyzed by the threat of missile strikes.
