Tulsi Gabbard, head of U.S. National Intelligence, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that American intelligence has evidence suggesting Iran has reached a stage in its nuclear program where it could produce a nuclear weapon in a matter of weeks or months if it chose to. “President Trump has made it clear this cannot be allowed to happen, and I fully agree,” she added. This contrasts with her earlier statement in March, where she claimed U.S. intelligence believed Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons. Former President Trump responded to the contradiction by stating, "Mrs. Gabbard is misrepresenting Iran’s intentions."
