At a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, DNI Tulsi Gabbard said U.S. strikes had “obliterated” Iran’s enrichment program and that the intelligence community assesses there have been no efforts since June to rebuild it, while she repeatedly said determining whether Iran posed an “imminent” threat is the president’s decision amid a public split highlighted by NCTC director Joe Kent’s resignation. Separately, Iran reported a new airstrike on its Natanz facility with no radiation leakage, as U.S. officials weigh a risky ground operation to seize roughly 400 kilograms (about 970 pounds) of missing highly enriched uranium—an option nuclear experts say would likely require a sizable troop deployment while Marines and warships move toward the region and President Trump has not yet decided.
