Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, was nowhere to be seen in official photos from the White House Situation Room during the high-stakes meeting where President Donald Trump authorized direct strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.

Trump’s stance, bolstered by a May 31 International Atomic Energy Agency report (that stated Iran had accumulated roughly 120 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, dangerously close to weapons-grade levels of 90%), undermines previous reports by U.S. intelligence, including that of Gabbard, a former Democrat.
