US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

US intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard announced her resignation on Friday (local time), ending the tenure of a long-term contrarian who appeared to be at odds with President Donald Trump over the Iran war.

Gabbard said in a letter to Trump posted on X that she was quitting as director of national intelligence to care for her husband after he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
