Excerpt
Excerpt: the Ballistic Missile Threat Through 2015 Most Intelligence Community agencies project that before 2015 the United States most likely will face ICBM threats from North Korea and Iran, and possibly from Iraq—barring significant changes in their political orientations—in addition to the longstanding missile forces of Russia and China. One agency assesses that the United States is unlikely to face an ICBM threat from Iran before 2015. Short- and medium-range ballistic missiles already pose a significant threat overseas to US interests, military forces, and allies.
