The intel community and Gabbard herself claimed that Iran was not close to making a weapon. It could still be months, years. Well, Israel and the Mossad don’t like that, so Trump had to come and say she’s wrong.

I think Tulsi just posted it’s all fake news and they are on the same page, but I suspect she realizes the high-profile job is better than complaining about the deep state and warmongers on Rogan.

100 days ago when she made the comment in the hearing she might have been right... 100 days later today, she might be wrong.

This is exactly what she said:

quote:

Iran continues to seek to expand its influence in the Middle East, despite the degradation to its proxies and defenses during the Gaza conflict. Iran has developed and maintains ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs, including systems capable of striking U.S. targets and allies in the region. They've shown a willingness to use these weapons, including during a 2020 attack on US forces in Iraq and in attacks against Israel in April and October 2024. Iran's cyber operations and capabilities also present a serious threat to U.S. networks and data. The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003. We continue to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. In the past year, we've seen an erosion of a decades long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran's decision-making apparatus. Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons. Iran will likely continue efforts to counter Israel and press for U.S. military withdrawal from the region by aiding, arming, and helping to reconstitute its loose consortium of like-minded terrorists, actors, which it refers to as its “Axis of Resistance.” Although weakened, this collection of actors still presents a wide range of threats including to Israel's population, U.S. forces deployed in Iraq and Syria, as well as U.S. and international military and commercial shipping and transit.


So she does say that they are (currently) not building a nuclear weapon but she ALSO lays out that they are openly speaking about it in public and their enriched uranium levels are higher than ever . So lets try and take everything that she said (not just one line) and use context clues on what the next steps need to be.

lol this is literally the best cabinet in the history of our country made up a real patriots

You probably believe the New York Times reports and the MSN reports about these people and Trump like some moron

Every single word in the last eight years that has been printed about Trump or anybody around Trump or his cabinet are literally 100% lies.

I believe Trump believes they are. That doesn't mean he's right. But he's been consistent on his no nuke stance.

You're right. Like the others, Linda McMahon and the Real World guy were 100% the best available. Hegseth confirmed this to me on Snapchat. Thank God DEI didn't force Trump to choose absolute trash.

Solid retort. I won't ask you to tell me how they're qualified.

That statement from Tulsi is far from “they aren’t making nuclear weapons, full stop”. It’s much closer to “we have a lot of suspicion around them and they’re doing a lot of things to suggest they might start making nuclear weapons soon, but technically they haven’t started”

This is the media trying to wedge itself between members of the Trump admin

Why don't you tell us, position by position, why they aren't qualified...

Oh... and "Well, he was on the Real World" doesn't count.
