US intel chief Gabbard says Iran was not rebuilding enrichment prior to war
AI Summary
In March 2026, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee, stating that Iran had not been rebuilding its nuclear enrichment capabilities following US and Israeli attacks in June 2025. This assessment contradicts President Trump's justification for military action against Iran, which cited Iran's nuclear ambitions as a primary reason for abandoning diplomatic talks. Gabbard's written testimony indicated that "Operation Midnight Hammer" had effectively destroyed Iran's nuclear enrichment program, and there had been no subsequent rebuilding efforts. While Gabbard did not verbally deliver this portion of her testimony, she confirmed its accuracy when questioned. Senator Warner suggested that Gabbard omitted the information because it contradicted Trump's claims.
