Gabbard stated in her March testimony that Iran had the resources to potentially build a nuclear weapon. Her testimony in March reflected intelligence she received that Iran wasn't building a weapon at the time, but that the country could do so based on the resources it amassed for such an endeavor.
"We continue to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program," she added at the time. "In the past year, we've seen an erosion of a decades-long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public, likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran's decision-making apparatus.
"Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons. Iran will likely continue efforts to counter Israel and press for U.S. military withdrawal from the region by aiding, arming and helping to reconstitute its loose consortium of like-minded terrorist actors, which it refers to as its axis of resistance.
"Although weakened, this collection of actors still presents a wide range of threats, including to Israel's population. U.S. forces deployed in Iraq and Syria, as well as U.S. and international military and commercial shipping and transit."
