According to 2 sources, the claim that Iran will soon have a missile capable of hitting the #US is not backed up by #intelligence — there is NO intelligence to suggest that #Iran is pursuing an #ICBM program to hit the US at this time, the sources said.
Iran does, however, possess short range ballistic missiles that could threaten US bases & personnel in the region, as the admin has warned. [but that’s nothing new]
