In a tense exchange, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard found herself in the hot seat as she faced intense questioning from Democrats over her recent statements regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities. The crux of the issue lies in what many perceive as a discrepancy between the White House's public position and the intelligence community's assessments.
Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman, has drawn criticism for her apparent divergence from the administration's stance on the matter.
