The U.S.A. should have issued this ultimatum to the Iranian regime after the October 7 Massacre
Israel: State of a Nation
Peter Berkowitz, a former senior official of the US State Department, argues that the United States should have taken a firmer stance against Iran following the violent events of October 7. Berkowitz suggests that a strong ultimatum would demonstrate a decisive U.S. response to Iran's involvement in regional tensions and its support of activities that threaten stability. This perspective highlights the complexities of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly in balancing the strategic interests and ethical considerations when dealing with authoritarian regimes.
