It was about 4 years ago we were hearing Iran had no serious nuke program and the Ukraine was under our protection. That's about par for D.C. experts though, they were totally unprepared for Stalin setting off the atom bomb he stole from the U.S., and over the years our "intelligence" was anything but when it came to the Shah and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
