Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, stepped down from his position, stating he could not support the Trump administration's military actions against Iran. He argued that Iran did not present an immediate threat to the United States and claimed the decision to launch strikes was driven by pressure from Israel and its influential lobbying group in Washington. His resignation statement, shared on social media, highlighted ethical concerns over the rationale behind the conflict, a claim directly contradicted by President Donald Trump.
