US EditionShe's Wrong': Trump Disputes His Own Intelligence Head's Stance on Iran's Nuclear Capabilities
- On June 20, President Trump criticized Tulsi Gabbard, his Director of National Intelligence, for her assertion that there was no evidence indicating Iran was developing a nuclear weapon.
- This followed Gabbard’s March testimony asserting that U.S. intelligence judged Tehran was not working on a nuclear warhead, while recent U.S. intelligence reportedly assesses Iran can produce a weapon within weeks if assembly is finalized.
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu defended a series of air raids over the past week targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, claiming that Tehran is close to acquiring a nuclear warhead, while Israel continues its military campaign against Hamas amid warnings of a multi-front conflict.
- Experts, including former UN inspector David Albright, assessed that Iran would require a minimum of six months to develop a basic nuclear device and approximately one to two years to create a missile-deliverable nuclear weapon, differing from some more urgent intelligence estimates.
- Trump’s criticism of Gabbard underscores ongoing disagreements within his administration regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities, as the White House prepares to consider potential actions related to the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel in the coming weeks.
