US EditionUS Spies Said Iran Wasn't Building a Nuclear Weapon. Trump Dismisses ...
- On June 17, 2025, President Trump convened with national security leaders, among them Director Tulsi Gabbard, in the Situation Room as tensions between Israel and Iran continued to rise.
- The meeting followed contrasting assessments where U.S. intelligence and Gabbard stated Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon, while Trump claimed Iran was very close to having one.
- Israel launched airstrikes on multiple Iranian military and nuclear sites, intending to delay Iran's nuclear progress, which Iran countered with missile strikes causing casualties on both sides.
- The International Atomic Energy Agency warned Iran has enough enriched uranium for nine bombs, but lacks a confirmed delivery system, and officials say Israeli strikes delayed progress only by months.
- The divergence between Trump and intelligence suggests continued debate over Iran’s nuclear threat, with Trump aligning more with Israeli warnings and Gabbard emphasizing current intelligence assessments.
