Intelligence showing that Iran is likely moving short-range ballistic missiles aboard boats in the Persian Gulf was one of the critical reasons the US decided to move an aircraft carrier strike group and B-52 bombers into the region, several US officials with direct knowledge of the situation told CNN on Tuesday.
The concerns over the movement of the missiles was one of multiple threads of intelligence from various sources that led the US to believe Iran had a capability and intention to launch strikes against US targets, the report said.

The Obama Regime had eight years to fill up the

I wouldn’t doubt what you said at all. Probably more true than we can conceive.
ICBMs to reach europe and then the us.
I have mentioned this before, but not expounded on it as my friend is still living. In 1998, said friend, who had retired from the ClA told me that it was overrun by a Foreign Country which I choose not to mention- that they had access and influence over intel denied to American Agents.
He had been in stations overseas, and also working in Langley. His entire career was devoted to that Agency. Remember, that was back in ‘98.

I knew one who wasn’t corrupted. He was very angry at the transformation of the agency to which he had devoted himself.

I was told a similar story by someone who retired in 90.
