NCTC Director Joe Kent Resigns: 'Iran Posed No Imminent Threat'

NCTC Director Joe Kent, a retired Green Beret with 11 combat deployments and former CIA officer, resigned stating 'Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation' and accusing the administration of starting the war 'due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.' Trump dismissed Kent as 'weak on security.' Kent's departure -- the highest-level IC resignation over the conflict -- fractures the MAGA national security coalition and removes CT institutional expertise during peak threat conditions.
