Comparison is part. The other is clearly a statment that they don't post "any serious threat". I actually regard Iran as a larger threat. The Soviet Union didn't want to get nuked and they weren't state sponsors of terrorists, and were not inclined to give nukes to terrorists. So no koolaid. No misleading. It is what he said.
In fact, what he said was ridiculous enough that he has hed to try to emphasize a completely different point of view since then, stressing they are a "grave threat".
