Tulsi Gabbard condemned the media's portrayal of the DNI's remarks on Iran's nuclear potential, asserting it was misleading.

Overview

  • President Trump told reporters at Morristown airport that his intelligence director was “wrong” to testify in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.
  • Tulsi Gabbard posted on X that US intelligence now assesses Iran could finalize a bomb within weeks to months if it chooses to assemble one.
  • The White House says Trump will decide within two weeks whether to authorize airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow enrichment facility.
  • Multiple reports indicate Gabbard has been sidelined from key policy meetings as Trump leans more on other advisers for Iran strategy.
  • Vice President JD Vance defended Gabbard as a veteran and loyal Trump ally, praising her service and national security role.
