US EditionTulsi Gabbard declines to say whether Iran posed an ‘imminent’ nuclear threat
Tulsi Gabbard testified Iran’s nuclear enrichment was destroyed in 2025 with no rebuilding efforts, contradicting White House claims of an imminent threat, amid ongoing U.S.-Israeli conflict.
- On Wednesday, DNI Tulsi Gabbard told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Iran has not attempted to rebuild nuclear enrichment capabilities since the June 2025 strikes, contradicting President Donald Trump's central war justification.
- President Donald Trump ordered coordinated strikes on February 28, 2026, citing an 'imminent threat' from Iran after 2025's Operation Midnight Hammer 'obliterated' Iran's nuclear infrastructure, according to administration officials.
- National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent resigned Tuesday in protest, asserting Iran posed 'no imminent threat,' while Gabbard omitted her written 'no rebuilding' finding during her spoken Senate testimony on Wednesday.
- Senator Jon Ossoff and other Democrats challenged Gabbard on the discrepancy, but she maintained that 'the only person who can determine what is and is not an imminent threat is the president.'
- Despite heavy attacks, Iran's regime remains 'intact but largely degraded,' though intelligence assessments warn that if the leadership survives, it will likely seek to rebuild its military, missile, and drone capabilities over several years.

Two U.S. intelligence officials were directly contradicting one of the justifications of President Donald Trump's government to enter war with Iran , reiterating this Thursday the conclusion of the intelligence community that the Middle East country is still in years of developing missions capable of reaching the United States, and has not tried to enrich uranium since the June 2025 attack.
Tulsi Gabbard's announcement was against the justifications of Donald Trump, who claimed that the war had begun because of Iran's attempt to rebuild the structures that the North American had attacked.
