Deep dives

Understanding U.S. Intelligence on Iran

U.S. intelligence agencies have reaffirmed that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons, a significant assertion made by Tulsi Gabbard during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. This clarification counters decades of military rhetoric suggesting impending threats from Iran and parallels the misleading narratives that fueled the Iraq War. The discussion emphasizes the need to cease U.S. intervention in the Middle East, proposing that the country should stop its military presence as it has historically worsened conditions rather than improved them. Overall, the aim is to pivot towards a non-interventionist stance, recognizing that involvement in foreign conflicts has led to detrimental outcomes.
