U.S. Intelligence Says Iran’s Government Degraded, But Appears Intact

The nation’s top intelligence official says Iran’s government appears to still be intact after nearly three weeks of war. In testimony before Congress, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the U.S.-Israeli military campaign has taken on a toll on the Iranian regime. But she also told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee that “Iran and its proxies continue to attack U.S. and allied interests in the Middle East.” Gabbard said if a hostile regime survives, Iran “will seek to begin a years-long effort to rebuild its missiles and [drone] forces.”
