US President Donald Trump today rejected the estimation of the Director of the National Intelligence Service (DNI) Talci Gabard that Iran does not develop nuclear weapons, publicly rejecting the head of its secret services for the first time since the launch of its second term.

Rejecting Gabard’s crisis, President Trump appeared to adopt Benjamin Netanyahu’s justification for air strikes launched by Israel against military and nuclear facilities in Iran, after the Israeli prime minister.

Speaking to reporters on the Air Force One on his return to Washington from the G7 Summit in Canada, Trump was asked how close he thinks Iran is to the acquisition of a nuclear weapon. “Very close,” he replied.

When he was noted that Gabard testified before Congress in March that the National Intelligence Service still believes that Tehran is not seeking to develop nuclear heads, Trump insisted: “I don’t care what he said. I think (the Iranians) are very close to acquiring it. “

Trump statements awakened memories of his clashes with US intelligence services during his previous presidential term, including the one who had triggered estimates that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 elections to its benefit.

Gamboard also testified before the US Congress that US intelligence services do not consider that the top leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Hameni, had ordered the resumption of the Nuclear Weapons Development Program – which Washington and the International Energy Organization (Washington) and International Energy.

Iran has repeatedly denied that it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons, assuring that the uranium enrichment program concerns exclusively non -military purposes.
