Trump contradicts his spy chief on Iran's nuclear program
- On June 17, 2025, President Donald Trump rejected intelligence agency reports indicating that Iran is not actively pursuing nuclear weapons development, contradicting the consensus of US spy agencies.

- This dispute highlights ongoing tension between Trump and US intelligence agencies and signals potential policy shifts amid escalating Israel-Iran conflicts following recent Israeli strikes on Iran.
