Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she was not aware of President Donald Trump's reaction that he was shocked when Iran decided to strike US allies in the Gulf region. As Gabbard testified before Congress, she was asked whether she provided any intelligence to the POTUS that a counterattack from Iran was likely.
"I am not aware of those remarks. I think those of us at the table can point to the fact that, historically, the Iranians have always threatened to leverage their control over the Strait of Hormuz," Gabbard said.
