Intelligence Refutes Trump’s Iran Threat Claims
U.S. intelligence officials say President Trump’s claim that Iran is days away from an intercontinental ballistic missile is overstated. A Defense Intelligence Agency assessment last year suggested an ICBM could be possible by 2035 if Iran pursued it, and sources told CNN there is no current intelligence indicating Iran is building an ICBM aimed at the United States; despite urgency from the White House and some officials, analysts warn there is no concrete evidence Iran is close to producing such a weapon.
