Trump rejects U.S. intelligence assessment of Iran’s nuclear program

President Trump is dismissing a statement about Iran from one of his administration’s top intelligence officials. Three months ago, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard told lawmakers that U-S spy agencies did not believe Iran was building a nuclear weapon. When asked about that comment aboard Air Force One this week, the president rejected the assessment, saying “I don’t care what she said. I think they [Iran] were very close.” Meanwhile, the president is calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and threatening the country’s supreme leader, saying he’s an “easy target.”
