Ratcliffe Testifies Under Oath: Iran Had 440kg Weapons-Grade Uranium, Was Building Nuclear Weapon
CIA Director Ratcliffe testified under oath that Iran possessed at least 440kg of 60% enriched uranium with 'the only use for that would be the development of nuclear weapons.' Ratcliffe confirmed intelligence showing key nuclear facilities were destroyed and would take years to rebuild, but also warned Iran was developing missiles 'at rates that were alarming' faster than US defense development. This directly contradicts Gabbard's omission from her oral testimony.
