Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.
After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion. 3:32 PM · Mar 17, 2026 · 2M Views

Very gracious of her. She may not have agreed with him but she knows the Constitution.
Iran has been an “imminent threat” for 47 years.
I would have been with President Carter if he had taken out the IR.
She is right. I may not agree fully with Trump on Iran but how to deal with Iran is HIS decision to make.
Impressive! I barely speak the English.
Let’s clarify....
Iran declared war on the US 47 years ago...
They and their proxies have been attacking us ever since..
And carter was a disgrace..
POTUS decided to attack based on his determination that the information available indicated Iran was an imminent threat to the US and US military personnel.
That is the very definition of responsibly LEGAL.
Members of Congress may have a different opinion, but they can’t do jack about it for another 5 weeks or so.
She said that the President of the United States made that decision even though she may disagree.
Another thing to ponder. Time is not on our side.
The next President may be a Democrat and by then, Iran will have developed that capability.
I don't think the world is going to want to deal with a nuclear Iran.
Yep. I fully respect her. This is how the chain of command is supposed to work. Before a decision is made you give it your best to express what you believe, but when the decision is made you get on board with that decision.
Yep. Whether she personally agrees with Trump or not is beside the point. She apparently knows the Constitution better than every Democrat in Congress (exc. maybe Fetterman), and better than 90% of the rest of them.
Bears repeating:
Iran declared war on the US 47 years ago... They and their proxies have been attacking us ever since..
I think it’s a Hawaiian dialect
but she speaks Onx? How can that be that she speaks Onx and still agrees with Trump? Isn’t that impossible?
I'm old enough to remember the Iran hostage crisis, and I've never seen anything good come out of this extremist regime in all the decades since then.
I would have rather had covert paramilitary operators on the ground a couple of months ago when the water crisis and then the currency crisis hit Iran, to help the protestors before the regime killed them.
Strike when the iron is hot.
Trump kept saying back then that he would have to do something if they killed protestors, but he didn't have any resources in place at the time to back that up, and the people were brutally repressed.
Weeks later, we finally get aircraft carriers in place and start with the kind of overt action that our government always seems to prefer.
“ Very gracious of her. She may not have agreed with him but she knows the Constitution.”
“She said that the President of the United States made that decision even though she may disagree.”
Would either of you two care to provide us with a quote? Because there is none such here
Not really. She walked a tightrope there. The last sentence is key. She said Trump took action based upon his conclusion. She didn’t say that the information supported the attacks or that she and the IC also concluded. It’s very clear that this is all him.
I read it as a pretty lukewarm statement. Essentially, “It was my job to provide him information. He is responsible for the decision to go to war.” Thank you, Captain Obvious. She didn’t say he was right or wrong, nor whether she supported his conclusion. Kind of a bare minimum statement after her direct report subordinate attacked Trump and Epic Fury. I note she didn’t criticize Kent. As his boss, she could certainly have said something more critical about his highly political, near treasonous resignation statement. Based on her own past statements, she probably agrees with him. At least she remained loyal to POTUS. I give her some credit for that.
And I'm certain that she's not the only one in the administration who feels this way.
us onx speakers are very proud of it and work it into our commentary on any subject
If she agrees with Kent, then she needs to resign.
Regardless of his military past, he is currently a piece of shit and he can go to hell and join Benedict Arnold.
