US: Iran still poses missile threat

Rood said the United States still hopes to build the system, which would include radar installations in the Czech Republic and interceptors based in Poland and have it online by 2013.

The United States has said that those sites were chosen to position the system to counter a threat from Iran, but Russia has objected strenuously to the plans, arguing that the system could undermine the deterrence of its nuclear arsenal. The disagreement has led to the worst friction in US-Russian relations since the Cold War.

On Tuesday, Rood reiterated the US position on the threat from Iran in talks with one of the most vocal critics of the US plans, Russian Army Chief of Staff Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky. Baluyevsky is in Washington at the invitation of his US counterpart, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen.

Rood has pointed to Iran's announcement this month that it has manufactured new missiles with a range of 1,200 miles. That distance would put parts of southeastern Europe in targeting range. US officials have said they recently provided Russia with intelligence on the developments in Iran's missile program.

Rep. Ellen Tauscher, the California Democrat who heads a congressional panel that has steered money bills for US missile defense programs, also says the National Intelligence Estimate will not affect funding considerations for the project.

"The NIE does not play into our consideration," she said. "Nothing has changed."

Tauscher successfully pushed to withhold financing for construction of the site in Poland in a bill passed last month that provided most of the money requested by the Bush administration for the overall program. She says she would consider seeking to restore it in future legislation if the interceptor system were tested properly and if the administration won approval for the plans from the Polish and Czech governments.

That effort now seems more complicated by a perception in those countries that the administration has oversold the threat from Iran.

"The United States has been adamant in not tying missile defense plans in Europe to a threat from Russia," says Julianne Smith, director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Europe program. "If you knock down the threat from Iran, it complicates the communications strategy."
