Tulsi Gabbard told the House Intelligence Committee that Iran “is not building a nuclear weapon.” The director of national intelligence made the assessment based on deep research and intelligence-gathering from the massive conglomerate of spy agencies she oversees,

Trump’s stance, bolstered by a May 31 International Atomic Energy Agency report (that stated Iran had accumulated roughly 120 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, dangerously close to weapons-grade levels of 90%), undermines previous reports by U.S. intelligence, including that of Gabbard, a former Democrat.

This comes after US President Donald Trump said she was "wrong" for saying Iran was not building nuclear weapons.
