“Israel and Iran do not want totalitarian war but happens and unexpectedly” CIA chief estimates

And they don’t want a “total war” in the Middle East estimated by CIA chief William Burns, and notes, however, that this does not rule out the possibility of error… “We face the very real risk of further regional escalation of the conflict,” Burns stressed during a conference in the US, according to CBS News and pointed out that Israel is “weighing very carefully” how it will respond to Iran’s attack. It is noted that last week Iran attacked Israel with 200 ballistic missiles and since then people have been watching with a cut breath what Israel’s response will be Burns noted that despite Israel’s thorough examination of his response, he again warns that there is a possibility of “wrong estimates”. “The Middle East is a place where complicated things happen all the time,” he says. He noted that while the Iranian attack revealed some limitations on Iran’s military capabilities, “this does not mean that these possibilities are not yet strong enough and is something that not only Israel, but also the United States must take very seriously.” Regarding the Tehran nuclear programme, Burns says it seemed to have accelerated, but it did not appear that Iran has cancelled the decision to develop nuclear weapons. Asked about Gaza, Burns said that efforts to reach an agreement to return hostages and cease fire are “failed”, and revealed that at times they have approached – without result – an agreement.
