Kent Resigns as NCTC Director Over Iran War; ODNI Hires Pentagon's Caldwell Despite Leak Allegations

Joe Kent became the highest-profile Trump official to resign over the Iran war, writing that 'Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation' in a departure letter some condemned as conspiratorial. Simultaneously, ODNI hired Dan Caldwell, previously ousted from the Pentagon over classified information leak allegations, who had adamantly opposed even limited Iran strikes last June. The divergent departures expose a widening internal rift at ODNI over the war's intelligence basis.
