The director of the National Counterterrorism Center has resigned, saying he “cannot in good conscience” support the ongoing war with Iran.

In a resignation letter addressed to President Donald Trump shared on his X account, Joe Kent said 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.”

Kent described the conflict as one that serves no clear benefit to the United States and raised concerns about the human and economic costs of continued engagement.
