She explained that the Iranian government has not fallen but has been 'severely weakened', noting that attacks on Iran have undermined many of its capabilities.

She also stated that Iran and its allies remain capable of attacking US interests and its allies in the Middle East. Additionally, Gabbard confirmed that Iran's uranium enrichment program was destroyed in the strikes last June.
