All the Iran experts were fired. Mike Collins (agency seconded to DNI) was fired last year because Trump disagreed with his analysis."Ayatollah Mike", who ran the Iran Desk at the agency after he left CTC (getting ObL) retired. "Tom" (NFI), an agency ops officer and particularly knowledgeable re Iran, was shelved and decided to retire. The FBI's Iran pros all got fired because they also worked other counterintelligence cases, such as investigating the guy who stole hundreds and highly classified documents and stored them at his Florida wedding planner facility (Trump). But Trump and Hegseth probably watch Gerard Butler in the movie "300", so that kind of makes them experts, at least in MAGAstan.
