Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard posted a chilling video last week in which she described visiting one of the two cities destroyed with an atomic weapon toward the end of World War II while also dropping an ominous warning about the rising potential for “nuclear war.”

The video was posted just days before Israel began a major military operation to destroy Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons sites after two months of failed negotiations with the Trump administration.

“I recently visited Hiroshima in Japan and stood at the epicenter of a city that remains scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945, 80 years ago. It’s hard for me to find the words to express what I saw, the stories that I heard, the haunting sadness that still remains. This is an experience that will stay with me forever. This attack obliterated the city, killed over 300,000 people, many dying instantly while others died from severe burns, injuries, radiation sickness, and cancer that set in in the following months and years,” Gabbard began.
