Quietly, under all the attention on Hillary Clinton and the police shooting in Ferguson, Obama and Valerie Jarrett have removed Iran and their terrorist proxy network Hezbollah from the terror watch list. This is just another pathetic attempt by Obama to cower to Iran for the horrible nuke deal. The Obama-Jarrett regime removed Iran from the terror watch list despite a statement claiming that Iran is still a significant threat to the U.S. Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it?

The U.S. intelligence community’s Worldwide Threat Assessment removed Iran and its proxy Hezbollah from the list of terror threats to the United States.
The annual assessment of the intelligence community, which is released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, led by General James Clapper, backed away from years of precedent when the decision was made to remove Iran and Hezbollah from the terrorism threats list, The Times of Israel reports.
Outside of the politically correct verbiage and categorization issues (such as replacing the term “jihadist” with “violent extremist”), the report reveals that the intelligence community believes Tehran presents a persistent, significant threat to the United States.
The report reveals that Iran presents a significant threat to the United States: “The Islamic Republic of Iran is an ongoing threat to US national interests because of its support to the Assad regime in Syria, promulgation of anti-Israeli policies, development of advanced military capabilities, and pursuit of its nuclear program.”
