Aaron David Miller: Neither Israel Nor Iran Wants ‘Something the Middle East Has Never Seen Before’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MILLER: "I have been wrong so many times in terms of predictions. I would still believe neither Israel nor Iran right now wants something the Middle East has never seen before. Which is a major escalation. What ultimately, if in fact you end up in a counterstrike ballistic missiles, Iran and Israel I’m sure the Iranians and the Americans will get involved. And the Iranians may target American assets in the gulf. You end up with something the Middle East has never seen before, a major, major regional war with skyrocketing prices, plunging financial markets, and a degree of instability that will go well beyond what we witnessed, tragically in Gaza. Tough to predict, I am betting against an escalatory cycle that would trip into such a conflict."
