Trump says intel chief Tulsi Gabbard 'softer' than him on Iran nuclear issue
Trump and DNI Gabbard differ on Iran nuclear threat, reflecting mixed U.S. administration views amid a joint U.S.-Israeli campaign, with intelligence confidence cited by Gabbard.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump remarked aboard Air Force One that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is "softer" than him on curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions, though he retains confidence in her capabilities.
- Administration messaging regarding Iran's nuclear program remains inconsistent, with officials offering conflicting timelines about whether Iran is weeks from a weapon or if a 2025 U.S.-Israeli campaign destroyed the program.
- The resignation of Joe Kent, former head of the National Counterterrorism Center, highlights internal policy disagreements; he argued Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S. earlier this month.
- Intelligence chief Gabbard told lawmakers earlier this month the U.S. has "high confidence" in locating Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile, though she declined to discuss destruction capabilities publicly.
- Trump suggested a deal to contain Tehran's nuclear ambitions could be near, reaffirming his firm opposition to Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon despite the internal policy divergence with Gabbard.
