Tulsi Gabbard has resigned as Director of National Intelligence in President Donald Trump’s administration amid growing tensions over U.S. policy toward Iran. While Gabbard officially cited her husband Abraham Williams’ rare bone cancer diagnosis as the reason for stepping down, reports suggest disagreements with the White House over Iran’s nuclear threat assessment and military strategy also contributed to her exit. Her resignation follows increasing internal conflicts within the administration during the ongoing Iran crisis. Trump praised Gabbard’s service and announced that Deputy DNI Aaron Lukas would serve as acting intelligence chief until a replacement is appointed. (PC: Wikipedia)
