Question

Accepted Answer

CIA Director John Ratcliffe and DNI Tulsi Gabbard issued coordinated statements claiming that "new intelligence" showed Iran's nuclear program was "severely damaged" and would take "years" to rebuild. Their statements directly contradicted the leaked DIA assessment while criticizing the leak itself. This unusual public response from intelligence chiefs is the administration's effort to control the narrative about the strikes' effectiveness and discredit dissenting intelligence assessments.
