- Gallant to be in US Wednesday as Israel weighs its retaliation
- CIA chief warns of ‘actions that take on a life of their own’
“If Gallant is due in US this week, it’s clear Israel’s response against Iran has been delayed,” Aaron David Miller, a Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Senior Fellow and former State Department Arab-Israeli negotiator, said on X. “The complexities of escalation and the need to convince — and perhaps coordinate — Israel’s response with the US seem to be top of mind.” Iran says any attack against it will be met with a powerful response. The head of the Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, warned of the consequences of misjudgments by any side. “We face the very real danger of a further regional escalation of conflict,” Burns said Monday. “You can see the potential for inadvertent collisions, misunderstandings, actions that take on a life of their own.” He added that “the Israeli leadership is weighing very carefully how it’s going” to react to Iran’s salvo and that it will take into account the White House’s concerns.
