00:00Was it the assessment of the intelligence community that there was an imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime?
00:07The intelligence community assessed that Iran maintained the intention to rebuild and to continue to grow their nuclear enrichment capability.
00:16Was it the assessment of the intelligence community that there was a, quote, imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian
00:22regime, yes or no?
00:23Senator, the only person who can determine what is and is not an imminent threat is the president.
00:28False. This is the worldwide threat searing where you present to Congress national intelligence, timely, objective, and independent of political
00:36considerations.
00:37You've stated today that the intelligence community's assessment is that Iran's nuclear enrichment program was obliterated and that, quote, there
00:45had been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability.
00:50Was it the intelligence community's assessment that, nevertheless, despite this obliteration, there was a, quote, imminent nuclear threat posed by
00:59the Iranian regime?
01:00Yes or no?
01:01It is not the intelligence community's responsibility to determine what is and is not an imminent threat.
01:06Okay.
01:06That is up to the president based on a volume of information that he receives.
01:11It is precisely your responsibility to determine what constitutes a threat to the United States.
01:17This is the worldwide threats hearing.
