Tulsi Gabbard warns of ‘nuclear holocaust' in ominous video: We're ‘closer to the brink' of annihilation than ever before
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned of a 'nuclear holocaust' as she ripped warmongers for bringing the world closer to the 'brink of nuclear annihilation' than ever before. President Trump's intelligence director posted an ominous three-minute social media video on Tuesday to sound the alarm on the consequences of a nuclear attack following her recent visit to Hiroshima, Japan, which was destroyed in such an attack in 1945. 'This is the reality of what's at stake, what we are facing now,' Gabbard said. 4 Tulsi Gabbard released a video on nuclear threats. @TulsiGabbard/X 'Because as we stand here today, closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers,' she said. 'Perhaps it's because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people won't have access to. So it's up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness,' she added. 4 The first B61-13 HiFi nuclear bomb unit completed at Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

U.S. Air Force via REUTERS President Trump signaled he is losing hope that Iran will agree to end all uranium enrichment in a revised nuclear deal — but remains determined not to allow Tehran to get their hands on an atomic weapon. 'I don't know,' Trump told The Post's Miranda Devine when asked if he thought he could get Iran to agree to shut down its nuclear program. 'I don't know. I did think so, and I'm getting more and more — less confident about it. 4 Image shows the destruction from the explosion of an atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Japan. AP 'They seem to be delaying, and I think that's a shame, but I'm less confident now than I would have been a couple of months ago. Something happened to them, but I am much less confident of a deal being made.' Gabbard's warning also comes as the US continues to broker ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Gaza.
