- President Donald Trump claimed Iran could produce a nuclear weapon within weeks or months, offering no evidence to support this assertion.
- Trump's claims directly contradicted his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who testified under oath that the Intelligence Community assesses Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.
- Gabbard acknowledged that Iran's stockpile of weapons-grade uranium was at unprecedented levels for a state without nuclear weapons, but maintained Iran's Supreme Leader had not authorized a nuclear program since 2003.
- Trump dismissed Gabbard's sworn testimony as incorrect and indicated he had approved a plan for potential airstrikes on Iran's Fordow enrichment facility.
- Trump issued a 14-day deadline for negotiations with Tehran, while Iran's Foreign Minister stated no talks would occur during ongoing Israeli attacks and refused to discuss Iran's ballistic missile program.
