Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that “new intelligence” showed that Iran’s nuclear facilities had been “destroyed” during last weekend’s U.S. military strikes. Gabbard didn’t provide specifics about the intelligence she was citing or explain what she meant by destroyed,

Tulsi Gabbard defended President Trump’s Iran strike, claiming new intelligence proves Iran’s nuclear sites were “destroyed” and would take years to rebuild. She criticised the media for using leaked intel to discredit Trump and the military’s actions.

Trump’s stance, bolstered by a May 31 International Atomic Energy Agency report (that stated Iran had accumulated roughly 120 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, dangerously close to weapons-grade levels of 90%), undermines previous reports by U.S. intelligence, including that of Gabbard, a former Democrat.
