Tulsi Gabbard, the US director of national intelligence, reported that the intelligence community believes Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon. However, President Trump dismissed her findings, expressing his belief that Iran was close to obtaining one. This echoes the sentiments of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who urges readiness for military action against Iran. Gabbard, whose intelligence views oppose potential strikes, is increasingly sidelined within the administration as tensions escalate, especially with the US bolstering its military presence in the region, complicating diplomatic approaches.
Trump's dismissal of Gabbard's intelligence report reflects a divide between his administration and the official intelligence community's assessment on Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Gabbard's views that Iran is not nearing nuclear weapon production clash with the administration's moves toward potential military action, highlighting a rift in U.S. policy.
