Top US intelligence official says it's not her job to determine imminent threats

US Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, testified to lawmakers that determining an "imminent threat" is the president's responsibility, not that of the intelligence community. The testimony occurred during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing regarding the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran. Democrats questioned Gabbard about the intelligence provided to President Trump before the conflict, particularly concerning the likelihood of Iranian retaliation like disrupting the Strait of Hormuz. Gabbard deflected questions about whether the president was adequately warned, stating she would not divulge internal conversations.
