Exclusive: U.S. officials clash over a White House report on arms control, with some wondering if the Trump administration was painting Iran in the darkest light possible

WASHINGTON - A new Trump administration report on international compliance with arms control accords provoked a dispute with U.S. intelligence agencies and some State Department officials concerned that the document politicizes and slants assessments about Iran, five sources with knowledge of the matter said.

The report’s publication follows the administration’s formal designation on Monday of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Iran’s elite paramilitary and foreign espionage unit, as a foreign terrorist organization. The report was published to meet a mandatory April 15 deadline by which it had to go to Congress, the department said. A more comprehensive unclassified version will be provided after the completion of a review of what information in the classified report can be made public, the spokeswoman said.

Instead, it said Iran’s retention of a nuclear archive disclosed last year by Israel raised questions about whether Tehran might have plans to resume a nuclear weapons program. The 12-page report, down from last year’s 45-page document, reflected a disagreement between Assistant Secretary of State Yleem Poblete, whose office is charged with its drafting, and her boss, Undersecretary of State Andrea Thompson, three of the sources said.

Exactly, the moment they see Iran is becoming powerful and Saudis can't shoot down military targets and hit civilians if they hit something, they start shitting their pants.

NO WAR!!! This administration said no stupid wars. We have to stop these conflicts and focus on home. We must MAGA. Not wage a war that is completely unnecessary.

They want a war. Either Iran or Venezuela or somewhere else with brown people.

Darker than the proxy war Iran is funding in Yemen? Or the rockets they supply to Palestinian terrorists?

Who’s the ‘some’?

U.S after an economic & military war with Iran! All to quench the blood thirstiness of Netanyahu! In lock step with Netanyahu! Trump Netanyahu's running dog!

Blinkers off then.

I don’t know if you can get darker than black?

Bad take

Iran. Top terror financier in the world. Why shouldn't they be in a dark light?
