Gabbard Says Iran Did Not Rebuild Nuclear Program After 2025 Strikes, Contradicting Trump

 https://time.com/article/2026/03/18/tulsi-gabbard-iran-nuclear-trump/

Iran did not rebuild its uranium enrichment capability following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against its nuclear program last year, U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard told a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Wednesday.

"As a result of Operation Midnight Hammer, Iran’s nuclear enrichment program was obliterated. There has been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. The entrances to the underground facilities that were bombed have been buried and shuttered with cement," Gabard wrote in an opening statement ahead of the hearing. 

Gabbard's testimony, which is a representation of the intelligence community’s assessment of the threats facing U.S. citizens, appeared to directly contradict one of President Donald Trump's central justifications for launching a new war against Iran on Feb 28—namely that Iran was two weeks away from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

  1. From a purely logical erspective, it's possible to be two weeks wway and also not building.

    In any case, why provoke a war with U.S. by not allowing inspections if not intent on building...?!

    =====
    When an adversary explicitly vows to destroy you, wages proxy war against you for decades, and is now at nuclear breakout while racing toward ICBMs capable of hitting the U.S., the "imminent threat" has already arrived. The cost of acting now — while Iran's proxies are degraded and Russia is pinned down in Ukraine — is far lower than the cost of a nuclear Iran. Waiting for a neighbor to finish loading a gun aimed at your family isn't restraint. It's negligence.
