US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced her resignation on the 22nd, ending a tenure marked by unique stances and apparent disagreements with President Trump over the Iran war. In a letter to Trump posted on X, Gabbard stated she is stepping down to care for her husband, Abraham, who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. Trump praised Gabbard, noting she was one of the few women in his cabinet. Aaron Lukas, her deputy, will serve as acting DNI. Gabbard, a former Democrat, had faced scrutiny for past foreign policy stances, and in recent months, she appeared increasingly sidelined from decision-making circles as Trump moved toward conflict with Iran.
