US Annual Threats Assessment Removes Iran from Terror Threats List
Breitbart ^ | 3/16/15 | Jordan Schachtel

Posted on 03/16/2015 11:36:18 AM PDT by Nachum

The U.S. intelligence community’s Worldwide Threat Assessment removed Iran and its proxy Hezbollah from the list of terror threats to the United States.

The annual assessment of the intelligence community, which is released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, led by General James Clapper, backed away from years of precedent when the decision was made to remove Iran and Hezbollah from the terrorism threats list, The Times of Israel reports.

Outside of the politically correct verbiage and categorization issues (such as replacing the term “jihadist” with “violent extremist”), the report reveals that the intelligence community believes Tehran presents a persistent, significant threat to the United States.

The report reveals that Iran presents a significant threat to the United States: “The Islamic Republic of Iran is an ongoing threat to US national interests because of its support to the Assad regime in Syria, promulgation of anti-Israeli policies, development of advanced military capabilities, and pursuit of its nuclear program.”

With regard to Iran’s WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) program, the report states: “We continue to assess that Iran’s overarching strategic goals of enhancing its security, prestige and regional influence have led it to pursue capabilities to meet its civilian goals and give it the ability to build missile-deliverable nuclear weapons.”

The report adds: We judge that Tehran would choose ballistic missiles as its preferred method of delivering nuclear weapons, if it builds them. Iran’s ballistic missiles are inherently capable of delivering WMD, and Tehran already has the largest inventory of ballistic missiles in the Middle East. Iran’s progress on space launch vehicles—along with its desire to deter the United States and its allies—provides Tehran with the means and motivation to develop longer-range missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

It all makes sense when one comes to realize that 0bama WANTS a nuclear armed Iran, and nuclear armed Iranian surrogates.

It all makes sense when one comes to realize that 0bama WANTS Israel destroyed and the evil white devil colonialists of the US and Europe cowed by a nuclear armed global Islamic Caliphate.

It all makes sense if one comes to realize that 0bama’s secret fantasy is to unite his Sunni sect with the Iranian Shia, and bring in some of the other sects, like the Alawaites; (A somewhat disparate 12ther sect that now looks to Assad as their hereditary leader.)

The U.S. intelligence community’s Worldwide Threat Assessment removed Iran and its proxy Hezbollah from the list of terror threats to the United States.

in·tel·li·gence
/inˈteləjəns/
noun
1. the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
"an eminent man of great intelligence"
synonyms: intellectual capacity, mental capacity, intellect, mind, brain(s), IQ, brainpower, judgment, reasoning, understanding, comprehension; More acumen, wit, sense, insight, perception, penetration, discernment, smartness, canniness, astuteness, intuition, acuity, cleverness, brilliance, ability;

2. the collection of information of military or political value.
"the chief of military intelligence"
synonyms: information gathering, surveillance, observation, reconnaissance, spying, espionage, infiltration, ELINT, humint;

Apparently they are using a new definition of "intelligence" because this report doesn't use either of the two common ones.

Iran is, so far as I know, the only country repeatedly and persistently threatening to destroy usa, it’s socalled Great Satan, and with nuclear bombs too. You know, the nukes that obama is defending ( built, in part, with the money obama made available to iran). So naturally according to obama everything’s wonderful - you might even say “right on target.” Ps: Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy terrorist force in Lebanon, has built up over 100,000 missile bombs to destroy Israel. ,so that’s just peaches and creme with obama too. As he said, elections have consequences. Including probably nuclear destruction for America.
