US Counterterrorism Chief Resigns Over Iran War, Says “No Imminent Threat”

The Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, has resigned from his position over the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran.

Kent announced his resignation in a letter addressed to Donald Trump, stating that he could no longer support the conflict, which he described as unjustified.

In the letter, Kent declared that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to the United States, contradicting the justification for the military action. He further expressed concerns that the war was influenced by external pressure, raising questions about the decision-making process behind the conflict.

The resignation makes Kent the first senior official to step down over the war, highlighting growing divisions within the US government regarding the military campaign against Iran.

The development comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, as the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues to draw global attention and concern.

Observers say Kent’s exit could signal deeper disagreements within the administration over foreign policy and the direction of the war.
