Joe Kent Quits Trump Team Over Needless Iran War
Source: unherd.com
- Joe Kent resigned as head of the National Counterterrorism Center because he believes Iran posed no imminent threat to America.
- He accuses President Trump of starting the war due to pressure from Israel and its lobby, not U.S. interests.
- Kent, a combat veteran and Gold Star husband, refuses to back a conflict that wastes American lives for others' gain.
Joe Kent explains his shock resignation from a top Trump administration intelligence role over military strikes on Iran. He argues the war lacks any real U.S. justification and stems from foreign influence. This exposes deep rifts inside the "America First" crowd about endless Middle East fights.
