National Intelligence Strategy and the New Axis of Evil
The August 2009 National Intelligence Strategy, published by Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, identifies Iran, North Korea, and Russia as primary challenges to U.S. interests.

The strategy also emphasizes "emerging" threats such as cyber operations alongside traditional military force.
