Trump says Tulsi Gabbard was ‘wrong’ about Iran; Israeli strikes could be ‘very hard to stop’
President Donald Trump has said that his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was “wrong” when she previously said that the U.S. believed Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon, and he suggested that it would be “very hard to stop” Israel's strikes on Iran in order to negotiate a possible ceasefire.
Mr. Trump has recently taken a more aggressive public stance toward Tehran as he's sought more time to weigh whether to attack Iran by striking its well-defended Fordo uranium enrichment facility. Buried under a mountain, the facility is believed to be out of the reach of all but America's “bunker-buster” bombs.

After landing in New Jersey for an evening fundraiser for his super political action committee on Friday, Mr. Trump was asked about Ms. Gabbard's comments to Congress in March that U.S. spy agencies believed that Iran wasn't working on nuclear warheads.
The President responded, “Well then, my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?”
Informed that it had been Ms. Gabbard, Mr. Trump said, “She's wrong.”
