White House officials [said] that the truth behind the mysterious ailments known as Havana Syndrome was still unknown, contradicting a new intelligence assessment about what had befallen spies and diplomats for the last nine years.
[T]he Office of the Director of National Intelligence released an updated assessment about the ailments, one that largely reinforced its earlier conclusion that no foreign government was responsible for them. But the document, an update of the intelligence community’s conclusions in 2023, noted that two spy agencies had, at least subtly, shifted their positions.
The White House noted that shift in a briefing with reporters, while the Office of the Director of National Intelligence gave a separate briefing that differed sharply in emphasis and tone.
