Joe Kent, a Director in the National Counterterrorism Center and a long-time supporter of Donald Trump, has resigned in protest against the ongoing war in Iran. In a letter to the public, Kent, a combat veteran whose wife died in Syria, accused the administration of being duped by "misinformation" from high-ranking Israeli officials and lobbies in the U.S. into believing that Iran was a threat to national security. However, while Kent believes that this war is having no positive impact on the American people, this resignation has been deemed "insulting" by the White House, with President Trump stating that Kent was "weak on security" and that there was evidence that an attack by Iran against the U.S. was intended, although this evidence was not provided in this article.
