The two made this assertion in a recent episode of their eponymous podcast. According to Wiles, there are reports of the Biden administration privately warning Israel not to go far and not to expect U.S. backing if they overdo it.
"It appears there's no chance diplomacy can persuade Iranian officials not to attack Israel in the coming days. The matters that must be decided now are the timing of the attack, the intensity of the attack and Israel's response to the attack," said Wiles, who quoted an article from the Times of Israel.
According to the piece, unnamed officials in the Washington-led multinational coalition preparing to assist in repelling an expected Iranian attack told Tel Aviv not to push it and to think carefully before they attack in return. One of the officials said "the goal at the end of the day is not to lead to an all-out war."
But Burkhart pointed out that an all-out war is inevitable. Wiles agreed, noting that this is what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to happen. According to Wiles, he believes Netanyahu wants to destroy and he won't be able to restrain himself.

"That is his goal. That's the reason he's doing all these things of assassinating people. He needs this big war," Wiles said.
Egypt won't be helping Israel this time around
According to Burkhart, Tehran's rhetoric is pretty high with its promise to strike Israel – something Tel Aviv won't forget. Wiles remarked that Iran doesn't care if it starts a war. He also mentioned that Egyptian officials have even told Israel not to expect their help this time around.
Burkhart cited a report from The National's Hamza Hendawia about Cairo rejecting Tel Aviv's request to join the multinational coalition to defend Israel against Iran. According to the Emirati paper, sources briefed on the matter said Israel was informed of Egypt's position during talks in Cairo on Aug. 3 between Egyptian officials and a visiting Israeli delegation. The said delegation was led by Mossad Director David Barnea and Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar.
The National also mentioned that Israeli officials were told Cairo's role in the case of an Iranian attack will be restricted to the defense of its maritime and land borders, as well as its airspace. "We told them that our role will only be the defense of our country in the event of an attack on Israel," one of the sources stated.
Burkhart ultimately mentioned that Egypt is going to sit out this one and not get involved in the conflict. Wiles, meanwhile, commented that Egypt wasn't happy with the way Israel has inhumanely treated the people of Gaza.
