"If it [the stockpile of enriched uranium] is intact and Iran is able to keep it that way, they could potentially use it in a new covert enrichment facility to produce material for several nuclear weapons in a matter of months."

"I can say to the American people with great confidence that they [Iranians] are much further away from a nuclear program today than they were 24 hours ago."

"Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that's for sure."

"Israel's and U.S. attacks have effectively destroyed Iran's centrifuge enrichment program."

"The American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, combined with Israeli strikes on other elements of Iran's military nuclear program, has set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years."

"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."

Have US Strikes Set Back Iran's Nuclear Program?

Tulsi Gabbard resigned Friday as U.S. Director of National Intelligence, citing her husband Abraham Williams' recent diagnosis with "an extremely rare form of bone cancer." She informed President Donald Trump of her decision during an Oval Office meeting, with her last day set for June 30.

Gabbard is the fourth Cabinet member to depart the Trump administration this year, following Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer — all women.

During her tenure, Gabbard told Congress that Iran had made no efforts to rebuild its nuclear program following U.S. strikes, a position that diverged from Trump's stated rationale for military action. She was also reportedly excluded from key national security deliberations on Iran and Venezuela.

Gabbard also oversaw staffing reductions and restructuring of the intelligence community, and declassified more than half a million pages of government records, including documents related to the Trump-Russia investigation and the JFK and RFK assassinations.

Gabbard was confirmed as DNI in a 52-48 party-line Senate vote in February 2025. Her nomination drew opposition from nearly 100 former diplomats and intelligence officials.

Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election after previously running for president herself in 2020. Her ally Joe Kent resigned as the top U.S. counterterrorism official in March over the Iran war.

Tulsi Gabbard served this country with real honor — in uniform, in Congress and at the highest levels of intelligence — and stepping down to stand by her husband Abraham as he battles a rare bone cancer is exactly the kind of character worth respecting. This isn't a political story; it's a human one. Aaron Lukas steps in as Acting DNI, and the transition reflects a well-run administration handling a tough moment with grace.

Gabbard told Congress Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon, Trump went to war anyway and privately polled cabinet members on pushing her out — then suddenly a "personal reasons" exit lands right on cue. The timing of this resignation, months of Iran drama, deputy resignations and conflicting testimony all add up to something that looks a lot less like a family decision and a lot more like a managed departure.

Gabbard served the United States with real honor in several roles. Her stepping down to stand by her husband is exactly the kind of character worth respecting. This isn't a political story; it's a human one. With Aaron Lukas stepping in as Acting DNI, we once again see how this administration is well-run.

It's admirable that Gabbard is resigning in order to assist her husband. But the timing of this resignation after months of Iran drama, deputy resignations and conflicting testimony all add up to something that looks a lot less like a family decision and a lot more like a managed departure.
