If she had any dignity she should have quit right after he said he didn't care about her opinion.... Shame
Uncle_Paul_Hargis@reddit
Why would she not be? She capitulated to his demands. If she didn’t back off her previous statements she probably would’ve been fired.
CalRipkenForCommish@reddit
Aaaaaand? If she were fired, she could speak the truth, right? She said what she said and trump is the liar, right? Alternatively, she could continue to be tulsi gabbard, just another part of the lying administration.
Uncle_Paul_Hargis@reddit
I agree. I was just pointing out the sequence of events. She either lied in the first statement or the second. I’m very bummed.

If you read the full statement, what Tulsi Gabbard warned about in March is actually the same as what the IAEA said in May and what the Trump administration and Israeli government said in June -- that Iran has been enriching uranium at levels too high for innocent domestic use.
Specifically, Gabbard said in March that Iran's "enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons."
Although the intelligence services have no evidence of Iran literally putting this uranium into a bomb, and as far as they can tell, Khomeini hasn't officially restarted the nuclear bomb program he suspended in 2003 ... Iran is not enriching uranium for any good reason.
That's what Gabbard said in March, and that's what the IAEA and administration are saying now.
The IAEA estimated that with uranium already enriched at the levels they verified, it would take Iran mere weeks to make a bomb, should they decide to do so. This is what prompted the response from Israel and the U.S., whether you think that response is warranted or not (which is of course arguable).
In case you DO want to read Gabbard's full statement from March 26, 2025:
"Iran continues to seek to expand its influence in the Middle East, despite the degradation to its proxies and defenses during the Gaza conflict. Iran has developed and maintains ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs, including systems capable of striking U.S. targets and allies in the region. They’ve shown a willingness to use these weapons, including during a 2020 attack on US forces in Iraq and in attacks against Israel in April and October 2024. Iran’s cyber operations and capabilities also present a serious threat to U.S. networks and data. The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003. We continue to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. In the past year, we’ve seen an erosion of a decades long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran’s decision-making apparatus. Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons. Iran will likely continue efforts to counter Israel and press for U.S. military withdrawal from the region by aiding, arming, and helping to reconstitute its loose consortium of like-minded terrorists, actors, which it refers to as its “Axis of Resistance.” Although weakened, this collection of actors still presents a wide range of threats including to Israel’s population, U.S. forces deployed in Iraq and Syria, as well as U.S. and international military and commercial shipping and transit."

Thank you for this. I appreciate the full context.

President Trump just announced on Truth Social that Israel and Iran have entered into a ceasefire agreement.

At the beginning of their strikes on Iran, Israeli government sources told media in Israel that this was a two-week military operation.
They also said that if the U.S. would use bunker bombs on the nuclear sites, it would speed up the plan.
So 12 days is almost exactly as they predicted.
Experts were saying since the weekend that Israel was running out of targets in Iran (they surprisingly easily hit most of the ones on their list). Some outlets also said that experts believed Israel was running low on defensive missiles, and that soon, the public would grow tired of their civilians being in harm's way.
On Monday, Israeli gov't sources told media that they were ready to stop, if Iran would stop firing missiles. They communicated this with the U.S. and Qatar -- that they wanted to stop. And of course Iran was done and humiliated. So it was just a matter of somebody serving as a "cop" to make it happen, which the U.S. was more than pleased to do.

Thank you very much for all the information.

Dir of national intelligence -- she has to be.
IVcrushonYou@reddit
But, but the brigaders said Trump cut her off completely. r/50501 has got to be the most insufferable subreddit ever sending their annoying tools everywhere.
jstohler@reddit
Way to miss the point genius. Being by his side means she completely sold out her anti-war stance.

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if RFK added a new food dye to our food that killed us faster.
SnootDoctor@reddit
Hey, I wouldn’t complain about that. Let the gullible people who get all excited about the new “MAHA dye” keel off first.

Just like polls show 80% of Americans are against men in women's bathrooms, polls also show 80% of Americans are against Iran getting nuclear weapons.
tipper420@reddit
As if they don't have nukes and this action actually made any difference to their nuclear arsenal. This is a hilarious take.
