From the same report:

Iran. Iran very likely values its cyber program as one of many tools for carrying out asymmetric but proportional retaliation against political foes, as well as a sophisticated means of collecting intelligence. Iranian actors have been implicated in the 2012-13 DDOS attacks against US financial institutions and in the February 2014 cyber attack on the Las Vegas Sands casino company.

Disclaimer: I've obviously taken it out of context.

What am I missing? This agency says Iran is a persistent danger etc etc and THEN they remove them from the list of terror organizations/ nations? I don ‘t get it

The intelligence community is protesting their orders. The President ordered Iran be removed from the list, so they were. But all of the reasons for keeping them on the list remain in the report.

America has become an Enemy to her old Friends, and a Friend to her old Enemies... Change. Imagine a Country where the President wields power separate from all constraints and does what he or she wants. Imagine Iran as our Ally. That means we must turn against Israel, England....

Don’t forget CIA director Brennan is a muslim convert also.
I don’t know if he is a ‘true believer’ but he did ‘say the words’ in 1997, when he was Chief of Station In Saudi Arabia
