Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe have dropped a truth-bomb that obliterates the mainstream media’s “limited damage” narrative about the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“New intelligence confirms what @POTUS has stated numerous times: Iran’s nuclear facilities have been destroyed,” Gabbard tweeted, shattering yesterday’s leaked low‑confidence intel assessments.
She added, the media intentionally twisted her statements and undermined the President’s message—claiming Natanz, Fordow, and Esfahan would now take years to rebuild.
“If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do.
“The propaganda media has deployed their usual tactic: selectively release portions of illegally leaked classified intelligence assessments (intentionally leaving out the fact that the assessment was written with “low confidence”) to try to undermine President Trump’s decisive leadership and the brave servicemen and women who flawlessly executed a truly historic mission to keep the American people safe and secure,” she concluded.

Gabbard’s explosive update clashes head‑on with defense insiders leaking to outlets like CNN and the Associated Press, who earlier suggested only “a setback of a few months,” with core centrifuges and uranium reserves allegedly intact.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe also issued a statement backing Gabbard’s assessment.
“CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran’s Nuclear Program has been severely damaged by the recent, targeted strikes. This includes new intelligence from an historically reliable and accurate source/method that several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years. CIA continues to collect additional reliably sourced information to keep appropriate decision-makers and oversight bodies fully informed. When possible, we will also provide updates and information to the American public, given the national importance of this matter and in every attempt to provide transparency.”
