(Just The News)—Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard this week backed up President Donald Trump’s assertions that U.S. airstrikes had destroyed key Iranian nuclear facilities, citing “new intelligence.”
Her assertions come as leaked intelligence reports have suggested that the strikes were less effective than the president has claimed and that the Iranian nuclear weapons program had been set back by months rather than years.
“New intelligence confirms what [Trump] has stated numerous times: Iran’s nuclear facilities have been destroyed,” she posted on X. “If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do.”
She further took aim at the presentation of the leaked intelligence assessments, highlighting the media’s omission of crucial details that render the documents less than authoritative on the matter.
“The propaganda media has deployed their usual tactic: selectively release portions of illegally leaked classified intelligence assessments (intentionally leaving out the fact that the assessment was written with ‘low confidence’) to try to undermine President Trump’s decisive leadership and the brave servicemen and women who flawlessly executed a truly historic mission to keep the American people safe and secure,” she added.
