US intelligence proves Trump’s Iran missile warning is inaccurate, saying Iran is years away from developing a missile that could strike the United States. According to sources familiar with the 2025 Defense Intelligence Agency assessment, Tehran would likely need until at least 2035 to field an intercontinental ballistic missile, contradicting President Donald Trump’s recent State of the Union claim of an imminent threat. Officials say no current intelligence supports the idea that Iran is close to such capability, even with potential foreign assistance. The White House declined to comment on the discrepancy as tensions with Iran continue.#Trump #Iran #USIntelligence #ICBM #StateOfTheUnion #DefenseIntel #MissileThreat #BreakingNews #Reuters
