President Trump has consistently shown distrust towards US intelligence agencies, particularly regarding issues related to Iran, Russia, and North Korea. Following military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump claimed complete success in crippling their uranium enrichment capabilities. However, a leaked preliminary report from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) indicated that the strikes only temporarily hindered Iran’s nuclear program. This marked another instance of Trump contradicting the evaluations provided by intelligence services, highlighting a recurring conflict throughout his political career.
Trump has a long history of publicly undermining and disputing conclusions made by US intelligence agencies, especially regarding Iran, Russia, and North Korea.
The latest clash arose after Trump’s military strikes on Iran, which he claimed were successful, were contradicted by a leaked intelligence report stating otherwise.
