Video: Gomez presses Gabbard and Ratcliffe on 2025 Iran nuclear testimony

Gomez presses Gabbard and Ratcliffe on 2025 Iran nuclear testimony

Aug 18, 2026

The Capitol Hill Insight video shows a March 2026 House hearing segment where Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) questions DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe on Gabbard's 2025 testimony that the intelligence community assessed Iran was not building a nuclear weapon and that Supreme Leader Khamenei had not authorized the program suspended in 2003. Gomez repeatedly interrupts Gabbard when she says "context matters" and references Iran's materials and capabilities, asking if she stands by it or if she was lying after Trump called her wrong. Ratcliffe declines to answer for her, saying she can speak for herself, prompting Gomez to question if it is an intelligence briefing. The clip ends there without further responses or resolution.

The segment discusses US intelligence analysts investigating possible Russian assistance to Iran in precise drone strikes on CIA facilities in the Gulf, focusing on the March 2026 attack that damaged the CIA station inside the US Embassy in Riyadh. It highlights the strikes' precision, longstanding Iran-Russia drone cooperation including Russia's production of improved Shahed-136 variants, and whether upgraded Russian guidance systems reached Iran. Sources indicate Russia provided some technological upgrades to drones used in the Riyadh strike but stress no firm evidence of direct involvement yet. The report draws on four people familiar with US intelligence.
