Iran was very close to obtaining a nuclear weapon, US President Donald Trump has said

US President Donald Trump has said he believes that Iran was "very close" to obtaining a nuclear weapon, contrary to the assessment of his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.

In late March, Gabbard said that the US intelligence community "continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003."

When asked about the stance of his spy chief by journalists on Tuesday, Trump replied: "I do not care what she said."

"I think they [Iran] were very close to having them," the president stressed, referring to nuclear weapons.
