US Intelligence Chief: Iranian Government Intact Despite Strikes

The head of US intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, stated that the Iranian government has suffered significant damage in the US-Israel war, but remains “intact” and will rebuild its military if it survives. The US intelligence community assesses the regime in Iran as degraded but not destroyed. Additionally, Iran has made no effort to restart its uranium enrichment program since the US-Israeli strike in June 2025.
