Optics. There's of course no reason for the DNI to report to the public. She reports to the president. If she makes public comments it could be for the sake of a narrative war or something. Normally the public doesn't even know who that person is.
Further to the DS narrative that the nuke facilities were not destroyed etc.
If they say the possibility of nukes, is still there, then they can start making another plan to attack Iran. Hence the NEED for this counter-narrative. - to keep funding that madness.
They cannot affirm that the nuke ambtion wasn't there in the first place, so it couldn't have been destroyed - for example.
However, if this ia a WH operation, then they need to affirm that the nukes are gone, and Iran has been 'knocked back' - so we don't need to attack Iran some more, for the time being.
I think this is why Tulsi hopped on board with the 'lie' - a White lie, if you like.
