Iran
"Effective missile defenses are critical
to protect America from rogue regimes like North Korea that possess
the capability to target America with intercontinental ballistic
missiles, from outlaw states like Iran that threaten American forces
and American allies with ballistic missiles, and to hedge against
potential threats from possible strategic competitors like Russia
and China."
