Gabbard, who later resigned in May, reportedly warned against it, citing assessments from the intel community. <strong>(RELATED: Tulsi Gabbard Resigns As Director Of National Intelligence)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the WSJ, Gabbard told the president that assassinating Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, would likely make the regime more idologically hardlined and willing to acquire nukes. Tehran would also be liable to close the Strait of Hormuz immediately and begin assailing U.S. forces and bases along with America\u2019s partners in the Middle East. <\/p>\n<p>Gabbard\u2019s warning proved prescient. <\/p>\n<p>Citing U.S. officials and experts, The Washington Post reported in July that Iran\u2019s regime had become more \u201centrenched and hard-line\u201d with a new generation of non-civilian leaders.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_2 --> <\/p>\n<p>Raz Zimmt of the Institute for National Security Studies in Israel told the outlet that after months of strikes, harsher sanctions and the U.S. blockade, Iran might be \u201cweaker\u201d economically but \u201cthe bottom line is that we are facing a new, bolder, self-confident Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other experts warned that Trump\u2019s general approach to the war and his threats to wipe out Iranian civilization have strengthened the hard-liners\u2019 position. <\/p>\n<p>Since the war\u2019s outbreak, Iran has restricted passage through the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global energy markets and triggering spikes in the price of oil, gas and diesel in the U.S. Maritime security groups warn that the operating environment is still tense and dangerous, despite Trump declaring Tuesday the main lane through the chokepoint has been cleared of all mines. <\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/p>\n<p>Iranian strikes also reportedly hit dozens of targets across 15 to 20 U.S. military and intelligence installations throughout Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The targets included aircraft hangars, runways, high-end radar systems, anti-ballistic missile batteries, and other logistics hubs. Repairing the damage will cost the U.S. billions of dollars, according to an NBC News report Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>Gabbard has had no shortage of Republican critics, particularly among the GOP\u2019s hawks and members of the Washington, D.C., political class. <\/p>\n<p>Before her confirmation in 2025, National Review\u2019s editorial board described Gabbard as an \u201catrocious nominee\u201d with \u201can extensive record of poor judgment\u201d and \u201cbizarre strategic misjudgments.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=4999\">Judicial Order Blocking Trump\u2019s Post Office Rule For Mail-In Ballots Lifted After SCOTUS Intervention<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In late 2024, The Guardian reported that the D.C. foreign policy establishment and intel community believed Gabbard was \u201cdangerous\u201d and \u201cinclined toward conspiracy theories and cozying up to dictators.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Just two weeks into the war, conservative radio host Erick Erickson claimed that Gabbard and other \u201cisolationists\u201d within the administration were trying to undermine the president. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact of the matter is, however, we have kicked this nest of hornets, and we have to get rid of the hornets, or they\u2019re going to keep stinging us now,\u201d he said in early March. \u201cWe need to see this through. The idea that it would take three weeks \u2014 a country the size of Alaska \u2014 has always been nonsense. The idea that we\u2019re caught off guard by what Iran is doing is absolute nonsense. This is an internal struggle within the Trump administration by the isolationists and Democrats in Congress to try to sabotage a military campaign against a terrorist nation that\u2019s been killing us for 49 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard drew the ire of hawkish Republicans, including Mark Levin, and the Trump administration itself in 2025, after she posted a video warning of nuclear war right as Trump was weighing whether to join Israel\u2019s strikes on Iran. Gabbard said in the video that the \u201cpolitical elite and warmongers\u201d were \u201ccarelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A senior Trump administration official told Politico at the time that the president perceived Gabbard\u2019s video as a backhanded attempt to steer the government\u2019s decision. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. ultimately bombed Iran\u2019s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites June 21, 2025, in what was dubbed \u201cOperation Midnight Hammer.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think he dislikes Tulsi as a person \u2026 But certainly the video made him not super hot on her \u2026 and he doesn\u2019t like it when people are off message,\u201d the official told Politico, adding that the president also does not appreciate it when someone seems to be correcting him. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany took that video as trying to correct the administration\u2019s position,\u201d the official said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=4997\">What Do Trump\u2019s 2024 Swing Voters Want From Him Now?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump ignored warnings from the intel community and then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about the consequences of war with Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5004,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[31,52,82,221,53,858],"class_list":["post-5005","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-iran-war","tag-pete-hegseth","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-tulsi-gabbard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
