US President Donald Trump earlier on Tuesday reiterated that "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, it's very simple".
The status of Iran's nuclear capability is surrounded by mystery even as in that is a central question in the Iran-Isreal conflict.
President Trump said Monday that he disagrees with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's assessment from a few months ago that Iran is not currently trying to build a nuclear weapon and has not been doing so since 2003.
Since shortly after it was founded in 1948, Israel has been intent on building a nuclear program to ensure its survival.
Tulsi Gabbard gave official details while speaking at the US House Congress. However, the claims have been rejected by President Donald Trump.
