In the midst of escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, former U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed the assessment of U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran is not actively building a nuclear weapon. According to top U.S. officials and spies, there is currently no confirmed evidence that Tehran is pursuing a nuclear bomb. However, Trump, during remarks at the G7 and subsequent press appearances, claimed that Iran poses an immediate nuclear threat and used that narrative to justify heightened military pressure. The contradiction has sparked concerns over misinformation and the risk of deepening regional instability. (PC: Reuters)
