Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's recent testimony before the House Intelligence Committee expressed skepticism toward the need for U.S. intervention in Iran. She stated that while Iran is seeking to expand its influence, the intelligence community assesses that Iran is not building a nuclear bomb. This contrasts sharply with President Trump’s recent assertions that Iran is close to nuclear capability, highlighting a significant rift between the Intelligence Community's findings and the President's narrative. Such dismissiveness of intelligence reflects past tensions between Trump and U.S. intelligence agencies.
"Iran continues to seek to expand its influence in the Middle East...However, the U.S. Intelligence Community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon."
"I don't care what she said...I think they were very close to having one [a nuclear bomb]."
