Trump’s stance, bolstered by a May 31 International Atomic Energy Agency report (that stated Iran had accumulated roughly 120 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, dangerously close to weapons-grade levels of 90%), undermines previous reports by U.S. intelligence, including that of Gabbard, a former Democrat.

But retired Army Lt. General Michael Flynn, who briefly served as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser during his first term and who also served as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency under then-President Barack Obama, says Gabbard was “set up” by the intelligence community.
