President Donald Trump criticized U.S. intelligence officials for not giving enough weight to the threat posed by Iran.

“The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran,” Trump said in a Jan. 30 tweet. “They are wrong! When I became President Iran was making trouble all over the Middle East, and beyond.”
