Gabbard navigates Iran war optics in Senate hearing

Tulsi Gabbard testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee about the Iran war, largely toeing the White House’s line while avoiding a direct endorsement, as Democrats pressed on whether Iran posed an imminent threat and questioned inconsistencies between her statements and prior writings; the hearing also touched on her ties to an aide who resigned over the operation and broader intelligence warnings regarding elections and national security.
