Iran praised former US intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard after she announced her resignation from the Trump administration. In a post on X, Iran’s embassy in Armenia said Gabbard had spoken “truths” about Iran that US President Donald Trump “hated”. Gabbard resigned after her husband was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. Trump confirmed her resignation and said Aaron Lukas would serve as acting intelligence director. Several US leaders reacted to her departure, with Vice President JD Vance calling her a patriot and loyal friend.
