Joe Kent, Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), has resigned, declaring his opposition to the ongoing war against Iran. Kent, appointed to the position in July of the previous year, announced his decision on social media platform X, stating that his conscience prevents him from supporting the conflict.
In his resignation letter to President Trump, Kent wrote that Iran poses no imminent threat to the United States and claimed the war began under pressure from Israel and its American lobby. He reaffirmed his support for Trump’s earlier foreign policy principles, emphasizing that Middle Eastern wars have drained American lives and resources. Drawing from his military background, Kent noted that he had served in 11 wars and lost his wife, Shannon, in a conflict he described as driven by Israeli interests.
Kent concluded that he could not support sending future generations to fight and die in a war that brings no benefit to the American people and cannot be justified even by sacrifice.
