Gabbard Falls in Line, Claims Iran Close to Nukes

America’s top intel chief appeared to walk back her stance on Iran’s nuclear program after being criticized by President Donald Trump.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused the media of misrepresenting her statement in March that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. The shift followed attacks on America’s top intelligence official by President Donald Trump.

On Friday, Gabbard posted a clip of her March Senate testimony to X, claiming, “The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division.”


In the clip, Gabbard says that “the Intelligence Community continues to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and the Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized a nuclear weapons program.”

Gabbard’s remarks to the Senate have been presented by opponents of US military intervention in Iran to argue that the country’s nuclear program does not present a threat, as Tehran is not seeking nuclear weapons.

In recent days, it has become clear that President Trump and other top US officials do not agree with that assessment and believe Iran could develop a bomb within a few weeks. The assessment that Iran could have nuclear weapons in as little as 15 days appears to have originated with Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.

CIA Chief Echoes Mossad Finding on Iran Nuclear Program

DNI Tulsi Gabbard is sidelined from Trump administration Iran debate

It appears the Donald Trump administration is favoring an assessment from Israeli intelligence that Iran could obtain a nuclear weapon in as little as 15 days. Portions of the US intelligence community say Tehran has not decided to build a nuclear weapon, and would be at least a year away from building a functioning weapon. US intelligence also assesses that a US attack on Iran would provoke Tehran to develop a strategic weapon.

According to the New York Times on Thursday, “Some American officials said those new assessments  echoed material provided by Mossad, which believes that Iran can achieve a nuclear weapon in 15 days.”

“While some American officials find the Israeli estimate credible, others emphasized that the U.S. intelligence assessment remained unchanged, and American spy agencies believe that it could take several months, and up to a year, for Iran to make a weapon,” The report explained.

In March, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told Congress that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. Officials speaking with CNN earlier this week said it could take three years for Tehran to build a strategic weapon and a delivery system.

However, Trump administration sources say Gabbard has been sidelined on the Iran issue. “National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, an outspoken critic of past US military interventions abroad, appears to have fallen out of favor with President Donald Trump as he weighs military action against Iran,” NBC News reported on Wednesday.

“Multiple senior administration officials said Gabbard has been sidelined in internal administration discussions about the conflict between Israel and Iran,” the report added.

Publicly, Trump has dismissed his top intelligence official. “I don’t care what [Gabbard ]said. I think [Iran] were very close to having [a nuclear weapon],” the President said aboard Air Force One earlier this week.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe appears to be one of the advocates of Mossad’s position within the White House. Breaking Points host Sagar Enjeti reports, “A senior US intelligence official tells me that there is ZERO independent US intelligence to back up CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s pronouncement that Iran is ‘at the one-yard line’ of a nuclear weapon.”

He continued, “All of the intelligence is from Israel.”


The Times spoke with sources who said the Israeli assessment could be fabricated to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s need to drag the US into the war. “Some officials believe Israeli assessments have been colored by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s desire to gain American support for his military campaign against Iran,” the outlet reported.
