This statement is contrary to the stance of Trump, in which he has been presenting Iran’s nuclear activities as a major reason for the war.
America’s intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard has said that Iran was not restoring its nuclear enrichment capability after last year’s US and Israeli attacks.
While giving testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee in Washington, she stated that the US operation carried out in 2025, which was called “Operation Midnight Hammer,” had severely affected Iran’s nuclear program, and after that no attempt was observed to restart it.
This statement is contrary to the stance of US President Trump, in which he has been presenting Iran’s nuclear activities as a major reason for the war.
President Trump and his officials had presented the potential nuclear threat from Iran as a basis to justify military action in collaboration with Israel.
On the other hand, Iran has always denied the allegations of making nuclear weapons, while international experts also say that even if Iran wants to do so, it would take several years to achieve this objective.
Meanwhile, US officials claim that Iran’s missile and naval capabilities have also been significantly damaged; however, according to experts, Iran still has the capability to defend its interests in the region, especially in the Strait of Hormuz.
Furthermore, the Director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, has resigned from his position in opposition to the Iran war. He said that Iran was not an immediate threat to the United States and that the decision to go to war was not correct.
