DNI Gabbard Testifies Iran Was Not Rebuilding Uranium Enrichment Pre-War
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified that Iran was not reconstituting uranium enrichment capabilities prior to the February 28 strikes, directly contradicting administration justifications for the war. The IAEA chief separately confirmed that war cannot entirely eliminate Iran's nuclear program. The testimony undermines the stated casus belli and may fuel congressional opposition.
