The first high-ranking public resignation from the Trump administration: Joe Kent officially contests the war with Iran, stating that Tehran does not pose an immediate threat to the United States.

Joe Kent, the head of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned on Tuesday, criticizing the conduct of the war by the US and Israel against Iran. Kent cited disinformation from Israel and emphasized that Iran does not pose an imminent threat to the US. His resignation is significant, being the first from a high-ranking official who publicly contests the actions of the Trump administration.

Kent, a supporter of Trump, highlighted the divisions within the coalition, between those who are skeptical of military interventions and those who support them. Reactions to his resignation varied, with applause from Democrats and criticism from some members of the Republican Party. Kent will detail his opposition to the war in Iran in a scheduled appearance on 'The Tucker Carlson Show.'
