US President-elect Joe Biden has chosen William Burns, who served for three decades as a diplomat, to be his CIA director.
Mr Burns led the Obama administration's negotiations with Iran to reach a landmark nuclear deal in 2015. Before that he served as ambassador to Russia.
He is currently the president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, an international think-tank.
If confirmed by the Senate, he would be the first career diplomat in the post.
