“IMHO we have damned good reasons to never trust the FBI or CIA again.”
Given that, the US has to make its decisions regarding Iran without trusting the CIA or the FBI. That’s unfortunate, but we’ve been making successful foreign policy decisions long before either organization existed. Without them we’re not blind, certainly not to Iran’s intentions.

And we did make the right calls AFTER those decrepid agencies were formed - such as Reagan taking on the Soviet, something that NO ONE in the Deep State thought could work.
I guess they’re still be ok to have around for other stuff, but they really need to stay out of policy decisions - that’s not why they exist, and they suck at it.
