President Trump has publicly rejected US intelligence reports indicating that Iran is not pursuing the development of nuclear weapons. During recent statements, he aligned himself closely with Israeli officials, asserting that he does not trust the assessments of his intelligence chief, Tulsi Gabbard, who previously claimed that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. In a meeting with his national security team amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, Trump emphasized the need for a decisive end to any nuclear ambitions from Iran, disregarding Gabbard’s contrary testimony and creating a notable rift within his administration.
