Gabbard Insists She, Trump on 'Same Page' Over Iran
Newsmax ^ | Tuesday, 17 June 2025 01:22 PM EDT | James Morley III

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard pushed back on any speculation that she and President Donald Trump are on different pages regarding Iran and its nuclear weapons program.

"President Trump was saying the same thing that I said in my annual threat assessment back in March in Congress. Unfortunately, too many people in the media don't care to actually read what I said," Gabbard told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning. "We are on the same page," she added prior to an appearance before the Senate Appropriations Committee.

In the midst of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, Trump was asked about Gabbard's congressional testimony in March by reporters Tuesday morning aboard Air Force One. "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one," Trump answered back.

Trump could completely destroy each site in just a few hours, thus ending the need for repeated waves of Israeli attacks and accelerating an end to the war....Gabbard knows this.

Tulsi had to testify on Hill so they moved NatSec meeting to accommodate.

Plus, its irrelevant. If someone draws a gun on you - opinions about whether or not it’s loaded are moot.

Iran itself claims to have nukes and is constantly threatening to use them… it’s insane not to take them at their word.

Looking? Heck, the left is chiseling until there is a crack. Would not be surprised at a media smear of Pete next.

Do you have a citation or reference for the assertion Iran claims to have nukes?

It’s the first I’ve heard of it.

Tulsi is working with NSA Rubio to chisel away at the Deep State.

That would explain the attacks.

I read in a few places that some Iranian official claimed it, but I don’t know the veracity of the quote.

Here’s a link to X repeating the claim.

“Trump could completely destroy each site in just a few hours”

The Iranians probably built at least one site that can take whatever we could do to bomb it. We could probably shut off access and electricity for a few weeks, but the Iranians would put it back into operation.

The Germans could put railways back into operation mere hours after the Army Air Corps bombed them.

“She needs to clean house.”

The house has many rooms. Most rooms have multiple people.

All involved are pretty ignorant of what others are doing.

When something interesting is found, it is relayed upward.

At the higher levels, the importance and reliability of the somethings is debated to a limited extent.

We can never be absolutely sure that something is not being done unless we know it is impossible to do.

"Like rust, always looking for cracks."

Or creating them where none exist.

I hope that’s the page where she assured us Trump wouldn’t lead us into more wars.
