Reuters reported today: U.S. intelligence agencies do not support Trump's claim that Iran will soon have missiles capable of reaching the United States.
A 2025 assessment by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency stated that, even with foreign assistance, Iran is unlikely to develop a usable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) before 2035.
Although U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said Iran "is on the path" to ultimately developing such weapons, it was reported that intelligence officials have found no evidence of an imminent threat.
Commentary: The U.S. intelligence community directly "undermines" Trump, indicating that he deliberately exaggerated the Iranian threat, entirely for the purpose of finding an excuse to start a war. Official assessments clearly state that Iran is unlikely to possess intercontinental missiles capable of reaching the United States before 2035. The so-called "imminent" threat has no intelligence support. Trump and Rubio ignore professional conclusions and constantly hype the danger, aiming to find excuses for extreme pressure and military deployment, serving America's hegemonic interests and domestic politics.
