Joe Kent, a longtime Trump supporter and retired Green Beret who headed the National Counterterrorism Center, has resigned in protest over the ongoing U.S. war in Iran.
“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation,” Kent wrote on X on Tuesday. “It is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
Kent, who has worked in U.S. intelligence for decades, says the conflict is a repeat of past mistakes.
“This was a lie and is the same tactic Israel used to drag us into the catastrophic Iraq War, which cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again,” he added.
