Senator John Ossoff

That opening statement as submitted to the committee in advance of this hearing stated that as a result of last summer's airstrikes,

quote, Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated, end quote, correct?

That's right.

And is that, in fact, the assessment of the intelligence community?

So the assessment of the intelligence community is that Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated by last summer's airstrikes?

In the opening statement you submitted to the committee last night also stated, quote, there has been no effort since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability, end quote, correct?

And that's the assessment of the intelligence community.

The White House stated on March 1st of this year that this war was launched and was, quote, a military campaign to eliminate the imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime, end quote.

That's a statement from the White House.

Quote, the imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime.

Was it the assessment of the intelligence community that there was an imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime?

Was it the assessment of the intelligence community that there was a, quote, imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime?

Yes or no?

This is the worldwide threats hearing where you present to Congress national intelligence, timely, objective, and independent of political considerations.

You've stated today that the intelligence community's assessment is that Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated and that, quote, there had been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.

Was it the intelligence community's assessment that nevertheless, despite this obliteration, there was a, quote, imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime?

Yes or no?

That is up to the president based on a volume of information that he receives.

It is precisely your responsibility to determine what constitutes a threat to the United States.

This is the worldwide threats hearing.
