Did Iran Present An Immediate Danger?

Hearing happening today in DC.

Director of CIA: Yes, because Iran was working on ballistic missiles. OK, but this was not an immediate danger.

Tulsi Gabbard: No. Iran did not resume work on its nuclear program after we hit them a few months ago, and is not capable of hitting the US.

I expect Trump to berate Gabbard.

As in aside, if Trump thought Iran presents a clear and immediate threat, why did he have Gabbard, his Director of Intelligence devote herself to supervising the raid on the Georgia elections offices, looking for evidence that he won the 2020 elections. Shouldn't the former be her full time job?

@MarineBob Not to belabor the point, but y'all were in Beirut. The question isn't whether Iran is a threat to Lebanon, Iraq, or any other Middle Eastern country. The question is whether they are a realistic threat to the US.

That being said, I'm sorry you had to go through that. That's scary as hell.
