YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The former head of MI6 says Israel is more likely to carry out a cyber strike on Iran's nuclear programme than launch a major military attack.

Sir John Sawers said his feeling was that Iran does not want a full military confrontation with Israel.

He also warned that more hardline factions of Hamas are likely to take control of the group following the killing of its leader Yahya Sinwar.
