Summary
Tulsi Gabbard, the US Director of National Intelligence, stated that Iran has not tried to rebuild its nuclear enrichment capabilities after US and Israeli attacks in 2025. This challenges President Donald Trump's reasons for the attacks, as he cited Iran's nuclear ambitions as a leading cause for military action. The attack supposedly ended Iran's nuclear enrichment program.
