CIA director doubts Iran's intentions on nuclear deal

newsJun 15, 202615973

CIA Director John Ratcliffe told President Trump and senior officials that U.S. intelligence doubts Iran will make the nuclear concessions Washington is seeking in any final deal, Axios reports. Axios says Ratcliffe based his skepticism on sensitive intelligence about Iranian intentions and that Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth shared doubts while Vance, Witkoff, and Jared Kushner advocated pursuing the agreement. That split matters because U.S. intelligence doubts could undermine a negotiated agreement and complicate efforts to secure verifiable limits on Iran's nuclear program.

Barak Ravid is an Israeli propagandist, of course this is the story he wants to "report".

It’s more like Israel isn’t going to follow the deal, but Barak Ravid won’t say that.

Scoops by Barak Ravid should be taken with a MOUNTAIN of Salt. He’s basically State Media at this point.

Old enough to remember: At a news conference after the summit, President Trump was asked if he believed his own intelligence agencies or the Russian president. “President Putin says it's not Russia. I don't see any reason why it would be," he replied.” www.bbc.com/news/world-e...
