WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government's top intelligence official told lawmakers Wednesday that Iran's government "appears to be intact but largely degraded” yet repeatedly dodged questions about whether President Donald Trump had been warned about the fallout from the weeks-old war, including Iran's attacks on Gulf nations and its effective closure of the vital Strait of Hormuz.
