Top U.S. Counterterrorism Official Resigns Over Iran War
Joe Kent has resigned from his position, sending a letter to Donald Trump stating he could no longer support the administration’s war in Iran.
In his resignation, Kent said he could not, “in good conscience,” back the conflict, arguing that Iran posed no imminent threat and suggesting the war was influenced by external pressure, including from Israel.
The move marks one of the highest-level resignations within the administration over the war, highlighting growing divisions over U.S. foreign policy and the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
