US President Donald Trump said that the National Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, was “wrong” when she previously said that the US believed that Iran did not build a nuclear weapon while suggested that it would be “very difficult to stop” Israeli strikes in Iran.
He honestly said, “wrong.” Trump repeated the notes of Gabard when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday. “I don’t care what she said. I think they were very close to it,” he said.
What did Tulsi Gabbard say?
While the Congress testified in March that the US intelligence community still believes that Tehran was not building a nuclear weapon, Tulsi said, “(news community) continues to assess that Iran does not build a nuclear weapon.”
She took X on Friday and clarified: “America has news that Iran is when she can produce a nuclear weapon within a few weeks to months if they decide to finish the assembly. She added that her testimony was exported “from the context in a way to produce a division”.
In March, Tulsi called the Iranian enriched uranium supply as unprecedented for a state without such weapons and mentioned that the government was carefully monitored by the government. She also specified that Iran began conversing about nuclear weapons in public, “encouragement of nuclear weapons advocates within the Iranian decision -making apparatus”.
The evaluation submitted by Gabbard has not changed, Reuters said it quoted a source with access to American news reports. US SPY SERVICES also considered that Iran would take up to three years to build a head with which it could hit the goal of its choice.
However, some experts argue that Iran could produce and supply a gross, untested nuclear device in a much shorter time frame, although its efficacy would be uncertain.
Trump often rejected the conclusions of US intelligence agencies that he and his supporters accused without giving evidence that they were part of the “deep state” of conspiracy of officials working against its Presidency.
During his first term, he often encountered US intelligence agencies, especially at their judgment, which Moscow interfered with the presidential elections in 2016 to benefit him, as well as his willingness to accept the denial of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The White House said Trump would decide to involve the conflict of Iran-Israeli conflict in the next two weeks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prevented a week of air strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities and claimed that Tehran was close to getting a nuclear head. However, Iran denies the persecution of nuclear weapons and insists that its enrichment program is intended only for peaceful purposes.
