- Israel General Warns of ‘Terrifying’ Scenario Awaiting Tel Aviv
by https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/
Retired Israeli General Yitzhak Brick has warned of a “terrifying” scenario which awaits Tel Aviv in any coming war due to the “unpreparedness” of the Israeli army and its leaders, Aram Media reported yesterday. According to Brick, who was speaking to MivzakLive News, the most terrifying scenario is 3,000 rockets being launched towards Israel in any coming battle.

He expected “pro-Iran groups in Syria, Yemen and Iraq, as well as Hamas in the Gaza Strip, will launch missiles and drones at Israel, so that the average number of missiles fired at the Israeli occupation state will be 3,000 a day.”

Brick also said: “The attack on the enemy will lead to violence between Arabs and Jews in the mixed cities, communities, villages and crossroads.” He expected a large number of victims in addition to mass destruction of cities and infrastructure. The former official has on several occasions cautioned that the Israeli regime’s military is not prepared for a multi-front war.

“Israeli leaders must return to their senses and immediately meet in a dialogue session to make decisions to prepare the army to confront a multi-front war and shape a modern security belief,” he said, noting the Israeli leaders believe Hezbollah will not get involved in any fighting with Israel.

“A new war will take us back to many years ago. The difficulties that we went through throughout previous wars will be nothing in comparison with the fallout of the future confrontation,” he said.
“Iran doesn’t frighten me and I don’t think it should frighten the American people. They don’t have a bomb. They haven’t made a decision to build one. They don’t have the means to deliver one. And the Israelis have 300 atomic bombs! I mean who presents the existential threat to whom?” – Pat Buchanan (7:58 onwards)
- CIA Chief: No Evidence Iran Has Decided to Develop a Nuclear Weapon

The admission comes after the US and Iran resumed indirect negotiations to revive the nuclear deal

On Monday, CIA Director William Burns said the US does not have evidence that Iran has decided to weaponize its nuclear program. The CIA “doesn’t see any evidence that Iran’s Supreme Leader [Ali Khamenei] has made a decision to move to weaponize,” Burns told The Wall Street Journal’s annual CEO Council, The Times of Israel reported.
–
Burns’ admission comes a week after the US and Iran resumed indirect negotiations in Vienna to revive the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA. The latest round of talks concluded Friday and are expected to resume this Thursday.
–
Israeli officials have been claiming that Iran is only trying to buy time with the negotiations as it secretly develops a nuclear bomb. For decades now, Israel has been making similar warnings, but Iran has always insisted it does not want nuclear weapons and Israel is currently the only nuclear-armed state in the region.
–
Burns’ comments counter the Israeli claims and could be a sign that the US might be breaking from Israel on the issue. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett demanded to Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the US must “immediately” halt negotiations with Iran.
