WASHINGTON: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard ​said Thursday during a hearing in front of the House intelligence committee that the American and ‌Israeli objectives during ‌the military ​campaign ‌in ⁠Iran ​are not ⁠the same.

“The objectives that have been laid out by the president are different from ⁠the objectives that ‌have ‌been laid ​out ‌by the Israeli government,” ‌Gabbard said.

“We can see through the operations that the Israeli government ‌has been focused on disabling the Iranian ⁠leadership. The ⁠president has stated that his objectives are to destroy Iran’s ballistic missiles launching capability, their ballistic missile production capability, and their navy,” ​she ​added.
