"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 lobby."
"At least 400 people were killed and 250 others injured on Monday night after a Pakistani airstrike on a drug rehabilitation center in Kabul, Afghan officials said, in the deadliest attack of the three-month conflict between the two neighbors."
Joseph Kent, head of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned from the Trump administration over the Iran conflict, asserting Iran presented no imminent threat to the United States and that pressure from Israel and its lobby drove the war. Kent's resignation highlights concerns about U.S. foreign policy direction in the Middle East. The commentary expresses alarm about potential consequences for U.S.-Israel relations and warns of increased anti-Semitism if the conflict escalates further. Simultaneously, regional instability persists, exemplified by a Pakistani airstrike on a Kabul drug rehabilitation center that killed at least 400 people, marking the deadliest attack in a three-month conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, demonstrating ongoing destabilization in the region.
