Graham: .. missiles that could eventually reach the United States.

Saying 'eventually' and 'imminent threat' is oxymoronic.
We will all eventually die but only death throes portend imminent.

Leavitt: ... Iran... aimed to develop nuclear weapons...

This dribble is also oxymoronic. To develop does not equate to imminence.
You and wife can 'aim to develop' babies, but only when she is in labor is the baby's arrival imminent.
