WASHINGTON (AP) Tulsi Gabbard left no doubt when she testified to Congress about Irans nuclear program earlier this year.
The country was not building a nuclear weapon, the national intelligence director told lawmakers, and its supreme leader had not reauthorized the dormant program even though it had enriched uranium to higher levels.
But President Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. spy agencies during an overnight flight back to Washington as he cut short his trip to the Group of Seven summit to focus on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.
I dont care what she said, Trump told reporters. In his view, Iran was very close to having a nuclear bomb.

The UN IAEA have been prevented for years now to inspect Iranian facilities. They are in violation of the JCPOA.
