NCTC Director Resigns, Citing Iran War as Israel-Driven Pressure and Lack of Threat

Joe Kent, head of the US National Counterterrorism Center, resigns saying he cannot support a war with Iran he views as not posing an imminent threat and claims it was driven by Israeli pressure and a powerful American lobby. Trump dismisses the resignation, while Kent links his stance to his wife’s death in a conflict he says was manufactured by Israel, highlighting internal dissent within the Trump administration over the Iran conflict.
