The U.S. Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, published a post on X claiming that her statements about Iran's progress toward a bomb were "taken out of context" by the media – and that she sees eye to eye with President Donald Trump regarding the fact that Iran is "weeks to months" away from achieving it. This comes after CNN reported this week that American intelligence agencies assess that "not only is Iran not actively pursuing a nuclear weapon, it is also up to three years away from the ability to produce one and being able to deliver it to its target" – an assessment that Trump has repeatedly claimed since then is incorrect.
