Murphy also objected to the absence of the US National Intelligence Director at the justification meeting, citing it as a sign of the Trump administration’s lack of transparency.

Also Senator Richard Bluemate The word “destroyed” to describe the status of Iran’s nuclear program “too strong” and emphasized the need for more accurate assessments.
