Fox News: Tulsi Gabbard has resigned from her position as Director of National Intelligence of the United States. AlArabiya_Fa Trump's post, machine translation: Unfortunately, Tulsi Gabbard, after having performed very well, will leave the government on June 30th. Her wonderful husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and she, rightfully, wants to be by her husband's side and help him return to health as they go through this difficult battle together. I have no doubt that he will soon be better than ever. Tulsi has done extraordinary work and we will miss her. Her principal and highly respected deputy at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Aaron Lucas, will serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence. President Donald J. Trump realDonaldTrump On the other hand, Reuters, citing a knowledgeable source, wrote that he claimed the White House had put Ms. Gabbard under "pressure" to resign. Earlier, there had been differences of opinion between the US President and his National Security Director, especially regarding Iran. In April, Donald Trump also mentioned that in his view, Tulsi Gabbard had a "softer stance" regarding dismantling Iran's nuclear ambitions. Ms. Gabbard, more than a year ago, on April 5, 2025, told Congress that Iran was not building nuclear weapons. The US Director of National Intelligence, who was present at a Senate hearing along with the CIA Director and FBI Director to present the annual report of US intelligence agencies, emphasized that based on intelligence assessments, Ali Khamenei, the then leader of the Islamic Republic, had not reconsidered the suspension of Iran's nuclear weapons program, which he had ordered in 2003. However, Ms. Gabbard later changed her position on this matter. Tulsi Gabbard, who has had a turbulent political path, was a member of the Democratic Party and Hawaii's representative in the House of Representatives before joining the Republican Party and entering Donald Trump's second administration. Seven years ago, when she was preparing to compete as the Democratic Party's candidate in the presidential election, she said that if she won the election, she would return the United States to the nuclear agreement with Iran. Ms. Gabbard at that time warned in an interview with Fox News that the United States was on the brink of war with Iran. Tulsi Gabbard is not the first and only senior security or military official of Donald Trump's administration to resign or be forced to resign. In the final days of 2025, Joseph Kent, the then director of the US National Security Agency's counterterrorism center, who had been directly appointed by Donald Trump and worked under Tulsi Gabbard's supervision, resigned in open opposition to the Iran war. @VahidHeadline News from a month and a half ago: Trump intended to fire Gabbard According to a report by Axios website, Donald Trump had come to the verge of firing Tulsi Gabbard, the US Director of National Intelligence, but last-minute intervention by Roger Stone, his longtime close advisor, prevented this from happening. The reason for Trump's anger goes back to Gabbard's recent testimony in Congress; where she, contrary to expectations, did not provide full support for war with Iran. According to knowledgeable sources, Trump was extremely displeased that Gabbard had stated in her remarks that Iran's nuclear program had been "destroyed" before the start of the war (a position that weakened Trump's justifications for attack). Also, the protest resignation of Joe Kent, Gabbard's assistant who had called the war unnecessary, added fuel to Trump's anger. While Trump was polling his advisors for Gabbard's replacement and questioning her loyalty, Roger Stone defended her in a phone call. A source close to Axios said: "Roger sealed the deal and saved Tulsi." Stone also later confirmed on social network X: "Fortunately, I acted in time." With this mediation, Gabbard has been retained in her position for now. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
