Gabbard said Iran was not building nukes months before Israel strikes

The White House said that president Donald Trump and the director of national intelligence, Toulcy Gabbard, are closely consistent with Iran after the president recently announced that he “does not care” what Gabbard said during the previous Senate’s certificate after it said that Iran does not build a nuclear weapon.

Gabbard rejected the concerns related to Iran that Iran was building a nuclear weapon during the March certificate before the Senate, just months before Israel launched preventive strikes on Iran in response to Israeli intelligence, which shows that Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a short period of time.

Trump was asked about Gabbard’s testimony while he was returning to Washington on Monday evening from the Group 7 summit in Canada, and the president said he “does not care” with what Gabbard said in the previous testimony and says he believes that Iran is about to build Nouak.

How close to Iran is a nuclear weapon before Israel’s strike on Tehran?

“I have always said that you don’t think Iran should be able to obtain a nuclear weapon,” one of the correspondents asked Trump while he was on the Air Force on Monday. “But to what extent do you personally think they were getting one?”

“Very soon”, Trump answered.

“Because Tolsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon,” the correspondent continued.

Trump came back, “I don’t care what she said. I think they were about to get one.”

When Gabbard appeared in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee in March, it made a statement on behalf of the intelligence community that included a testimony that Iran was not active to build a nuclear weapon.

“Electronic operations and electronic capabilities are also a serious threat to American networks and data,” Gabbard told the committee on March 26.

She said that the intelligence community “continues to evaluate that Iran does not build a nuclear weapon, and the Supreme Leader of Heshna has not declared the nuclear weapons program that it suspended in 2003.”

She added at the time: “We continue to closely monitor if Tehran decides to re -authorize the nuclear weapons program.” Last year, we witnessed erosion of decades -lashes in Iran about discussing nuclear weapons in public places, and the nuclear weapons quarrel are likely to be inside the decision -making in Iran.

“The fertilized uranium stocks in Iran are at the highest level and unprecedented for a country without nuclear weapons. Iran will likely continue the efforts made to confront Israel and pressure for the American military withdrawal from the region by helping and arming it and helping to reshape its loose union from the similar terrorist actors, which baffles it to its axis.

“Despite its weakness, this group of actors still provides a wide range of threats, including Israeli residents. American forces were deployed in Iraq and Syria, as well as American and international military and commercial freight and crossing. “

Trump is facing a decisive decision as the Middle East was swinging at the edge of the war

A White House official told Fox News Digital on Tuesday afternoon Trump and Gabbard are closely consistent with, and that the discrimination that raises the testimony of Gabbard’s march and Trump’s statements that Iran is “very close” to obtaining a nuclear weapon is one without a difference.

The official noted that Gabbard confirmed in its testimony in March that Iran had the resources to build a nuclear weapon. Its testimony in March reflected the intelligence she received that Iran was not building a weapon at the time, but the country could do this based on the resources it collected for such an endeavor.

A United States intelligence official, who works with Gabbard Fox News, told Tuesday that there is no light day between the intelligence that Israel and the United States received in the Iranian uranium enrichment program.

“Everyone says the same thing,” the official said, referring to the estimate of the International Atomic Energy Agency earlier in June that Iranian stocks included 60 % of enriched uranium, which could become 90 %.

Israel launched preventive strikes in Iran on Thursday evening, after months of attempts, suspended nuclear negotiations and the increasingly anxious anxiety that Iran was advancing on its nuclear program. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced shortly after that the strikes were necessary for “a decline in the Iranian threat to the survival of Israel.”

He added that if Israel does not act, “Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time.”

The strikes called the “RISing Lion” were targeted, the Iranian nuclear and missile infrastructure, and killed a handful of Iranian military leaders.

Gen. Michael Corella, head of the US Central Command, also said on June 10, before Israel’s strikes, that Iran has materials to build a nuclear weapon within one week.

He said, according to a previous tweet published at the expense of the rapid response at the quick house: “It is estimated that the current stocks and the central expulsion available … are sufficient to produce (Iran) the first 25 kg of the degree degree materials in about one week, and enough for up to nuclear beds in three weeks,” he said, according to a previous tweet published at the expense of the rapid response in the fast house.

Gabbard was not invited to Camp David earlier in June, before Israel’s strike on Iran, when Trump gathered with military leaders and senior cabinet officials in the presidential decline in Maryland. Fox News learned that Gabbard faced cases of cases at the time due to the revitalization of the National Guard in California, where violent riots erupted in response to the Trump administration in Los Angeles, but they were not invited.

Officials such as Vice President JD VanceForeign Minister Marco Rubio and Defense Minister Beit Higseth joined the talks, formerly Fox Degister said.

However, Gabbard was present on Tuesday in the White House room, where Trump was watching the burning Middle East clashes.

The conflict between Israel and Iran has intensified since Thursday. Iran said that the preliminary strikes of Israel were “declaring war” and then launched its special strikes on Israel, which rocked residential societies and killed the population.

Trump has repeatedly urged Iran to conclude a deal on its nuclear program, but the country withdrew from the ongoing talks with the United States scheduled for Sunday in Amman.

“Iran should have signed the” deal “that told them to sign,” Trump published Monday evening, when suddenly left the seven -year -old summit in Canada to better focus on the Israeli conflict and Iran. “What a shame, a waste of human life. Simply, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. I said that again and again! Everyone must evacuate Tehran immediately!”

On Tuesday, Trump announced that the United States now has “full and comprehensive control over the sky on Iran,” adding in another job that was identified for the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khameneini.

Trump published on Tuesday afternoon, “We know exactly where the so -called” Supreme Leader “hides.” It is an easy goal, but he believed there – we will not take it out (killing!), At least not at the present time. But we do not want missiles to collide with civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience wears thin. Thank you for your interest in this issue! ”
