CIA Director John Ratcliffe has told US President Donald Trump that the intelligence agency has serious doubts about an agreement with Iran, particularly Tehran’s willingness to make a series of nuclear concessions, according to a report.
Axios reported on Tuesday that Ratcliffe, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, expressed concerns about the agreement, while Vice President JD Vance and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner advocated for it.
The report said Trump and his advisers held a series of high-level meetings to discuss the deal.
During those meetings, Trump and his team reviewed intelligence that indicated Iranian officials were discussing the agreement internally in a manner “inconsistent with what they were telling the mediators and the US,” according to the report.
