The director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, announced his resignation Tuesday, citing opposition to the ongoing war with Iran.
In a statement posted on X, Kent said he supports the values and foreign policy positions President Donald Trump advanced during his first term but could not support the current conflict.
“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” he wrote.
Kent served in the role for just over seven months.
Despite his resignation, he said he was honored to have served under President Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

As B. Shapiro said, “Yeah, lets wait until they have a nuclear bomb or an entire arsenal of ICBMs then we’ll worry about it.”
Now you can join Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and their ilk. You can even go to the grave of Jessie-I-spit-into-white-man-food Jackson of Hymietown NY and you can join Reverend AL Sharpton’s non-existent church. You fit in perfectly.
What was he doing in such a high post? He Was he missing the boat on biggest state sponsor of terror this whole time???
Good riddance, better now than later.
Another Amuleiki pretending to be a “tzadikel”
Is he on Putin’s payroll? Why did he not resign right away? Why now?
Sounds like an unfortunate, bitter man, blaming the Syrian civil war and the 2019 Mamju Bombing on Israel! Glad he left.
