US-Iran War: US Senators Grill Intel Chiefs, Gabbard Dodges ‘Imminent Threat’ Question on Iran |WION

Top US intelligence officials faced intense questioning in the Senate, with lawmakers pressing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on whether Iran posed an “imminent threat” before the war. During the hearing, Gabbard repeatedly declined to give a direct answer, saying it is the president, not the intelligence community, who determines what constitutes an imminent threat. Her response drew scrutiny from senators, as the Trump administration has cited an “imminent threat” from Iran to justify military action. The hearing comes amid growing controversy, including the resignation of a top US counterterrorism official who said Iran posed “no imminent threat”, further fuelling debate over the intelligence behind the war.
