US intelligence sharing on Iran and other global threats has slowed and, in some cases, temporarily stopped during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to multiple reports citing current and former officials and people familiar with the matter. The reporting describes disruptions reaching across the US government and affecting how information is shared with Congress.
Several outlets link the concern to the risk that policymakers could receive an incomplete picture of threats. They reference intelligence failures associated with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks as a historical comparison, suggesting the current disruptions echo past lessons about how gaps in intelligence can affect threat assessment.
While the core claim is consistent across sources, the emphasis varies. Some focus on the broader “fracturing” of interdepartmental sharing, others highlight Iran-related intelligence specifically, and others frame the issue as part of broader disruptions to sharing on multiple threats. All accounts rely on interviews or briefings rather than direct new datasets.
