Joe Kent Resigns as NCTC Director Over Iran War, Says Iran Posed No Imminent Threat

NCTC Director Joe Kent resigned, posting his letter on X, stating 'Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation' and the war began 'due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.' The former Army Special Forces and CIA paramilitary officer's departure is the highest-profile internal rebuke of the war effort. Trump dismissed Kent as 'very weak on security,' saying 'we don't want those people.'
