Rep. Turner draws attention to new report on Iran's military power

U.S. Representative Michael R. Turner <http://turner.house.gov/> (R-Ohio-3), ranking member of the House Armed Services Strategic Forces subcommittee, issued the following statement calling attention to elements included in and certain information excluded from the Department of Defense's Military Power Report on Iran. The report, which was mandated in last year's National Defense Authorization Act, is designed to provide Congress and the Administration with an assessment of the Iranian regime's current and future military strategy. The Department of Defense's unclassified report can be found on Congressman Turner's website at <http://turner.house.gov/UploadedFiles/DoD_Report_on_Iran_Military_Power…;.    "Despite the Administration's insistence last September that the long-range missile threat was slower to develop, the Administration's own report confirms that Iran could develop and test an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of reaching the U.S. by 2015. Therefore, I remain gravely concerned that Administration's Phased Adaptive Approach is not designed to protect our homeland until 2020."
