Arms Control Association: Iran's Nuclear and Missile Programs Did Not Pose Imminent Threat

ACA's assessment directly challenges the IC justification for the Iran war, concluding that Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities did not meet the threshold of 'imminent threat.' The analysis aligns with NCTC Director Kent's resignation letter and contradicts CIA Director Ratcliffe's testimony about 440kg of weapons-grade uranium. This think-tank challenge to IC assessments will likely fuel SSCI and HPSCI scrutiny of the intelligence basis for hostilities.
