Tulsi Gabbard deflected Democrats' questions at the annual worldwide threats hearing, as tensions mount over the Iran war.

"It is not the intelligence community's responsibility to determine what is and is not an imminent threat," the director of national intelligence said.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard defended U.S. military strikes on Iran during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Wednesday.

Lawmakers pressed intelligence officials about the Iran war, and if the Islamic Republic had posed an imminent threat.

Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, repeatedly dodged questions about whether President Donald Trump had been warned about the fallout from the weeks-old war.
