Donald Trump himself has claimed that the Trump administration’s intelligence chief gave false information about Iran. President Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday. He was asked if he had any intelligence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, even though his intelligence agency had previously said that they had no such evidence.
Trump replied, “Then my intelligence agency is wrong. Who in the intelligence agency said that?” The reporter said, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Trump immediately said, “She was wrong.”
Last March, Gabbard told Congress that according to US intelligence agencies, Iran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program, which it suspended in 2003. However, at that time, Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, a material for making nuclear weapons, was at its highest level.
Last night, Tulsi Gabbard said that the United States has information that suggests that Iran could develop a nuclear weapon within weeks if it wanted to.
