"After much reflection, I have decided to resign. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
Joe Kent, head of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation over the U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran. Kent stated he could not support the ongoing war in good conscience, asserting that Iran presented no imminent threat to the nation. He attributed the war's initiation to pressure from Israel and its American lobbying efforts. Kent, a Trump supporter confirmed to the position in July, cited these concerns as the basis for his departure. His resignation occurs amid broader questions about U.S. foreign policy direction and intervention decisions.
