In The Middle of Nuclear Negotiations, NSA Scraps Iran and Hezbollah As Terror Threats
If this isn't dangerous appeasement, I don't know what is. According to a report inThe Times of Israel, the National Intelligence Agency delivered a report to Congress that scraps Iran and Hezbollah from the terrorism list, citing the country's work against ISIS as one of the reasons why.
