Trump disavows spy chief Gabbard's take on Iran's nuclear program
Reuters ^ | June 20, 2025

Posted on 06/21/2025 2:57:22 PM PDT by Freeleesy

June 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was wrong in suggesting there was no evidence Iran is building a nuclear weapon. Trump contested intelligence assessments relayed earlier this year by his spy chief that Tehran was not building a nuclear weapon when he spoke with reporters at an airport in Morristown, New Jersey. The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here. "She's wrong," Trump said. On Friday, Gabbard said in a post on the social media platform X that: "America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can't happen, and I agree."

This seems to be “breaking news” on a daily basis for over a week now. The Left is really pushing this nothing burger.

So, what the hell is Reuters talking about???

Trying to sow division, I’m sure!

More female nonsense by Tulsi Gabbard.

Nevertheless, these days, the men keeps putting the women in charge of things other than their own household and family.

Society suffers as a result.

This is stupid. Of course Iran is enriching uranium to build nuclear weapons. Are these people who are pushing this “divide” (Reuters, NYT, etc) mentally deficient?

Iran has more that enough oil to provide all forms of power to their country and bring in income by selling what they don’t use.

But even if they did want to build nuclear power plants for peaceful purposes, why did they build the processing infrastructure for their “peaceful” purposes hundreds of feet underground under reinforced concrete?

Really? Really?

Tulsi said it was out of context and meant to cause division. As if the media would lie to us.

If this article by Reuters Rooters is a lie (presumptively it is), then please disregard my comment in post# 6 about Tulsi Gabbard regarding this, although I stand by the rest of what I said about men and women these days.

It isn’t just the left. Some are the same people screeching to trust Trump, which we do, but they don’t trust any of his cabinet and the choices he made and want them gone. So WTH is their problem?

It is okay to not like a cabinet pick once in a while, but these people are systematically going for the throats and knocking them all away from influence with POTUS. It is getting far worse. This happened in his first term and it is happening again.

Bringing Jack Keane, and a bunch of neocons into the fray is downright awful. Who is behind this ?

Make that make sense.

'Really?"

Same question I ask about Iran's uranium enrichment program. Plus, it should be obvious to everyone that Mossad has infiltrated Iran's intel community. Think: Exploding pagers and radios. That doesn't happen overnight.

Every Offensive player believes ball carriers win the game.
Every Defensive player believes defense wins games.
Every Special teams coach believes that the special team giving good field position wins the game.

Within each broad group there is debate between the running game and the air game for offense, Between bend but don’t break and turnover gambles.

The same with the political game. And inorder to confuse the other side, it is useful if the other side actually believes the posturing of the players and coaches.

Absolutely NOTHING wrong with disagreement. Remember the days of the WMD scam when everyone was on board from, Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Powell etc.The media went along as did types like Carlson, Clinton and most of America. This decision better be right or MAGA is finished.

Reuters is just making shit up. Tulsi has clarified by repeating her entire statement not just the part that makes it look like they’re not together.

Same as Bannon - story on CFP about that. Trump seeks input from a range of sources and ultimately has to figure out what to do, in most cases it will not be based on unanimity. That’s why we have one President instead of a Presidential Committee.

‘Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons “within weeks”, months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them.

The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony - in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons - had been taken out of context by “dishonest media”.

Her change of position came after Donald Trump said she was “wrong” and that intelligence showed Iran had a “tremendous amount of material” and could have a nuclear weapon “within months”.’
