Tulsi Gabbard is the Director of National Intelligence. One of her core functions is to assess imminent threats against the United States.

She testified that Iran's nuclear program was obliterated.

Trump told Americans he attacked Iran because they were an imminent threat against the United States. He posted that because of this threat, "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

Fact, if a nuclear program is obliterated, there is no imminent threat.

There is a word for what Trump did to justify this war.

Not a complicated word. Not a partisan word. The only word the record supports.

He lied.
