US President Donald Trump's counterterrorism chief Joe Kent on Tuesday resigned over the ongoing US-Iran conflict, stating that Tehran posed "no imminent threat to our nation." He claimed that the war was initiated due to pressure from Israel and its lobby in the United States.
Kent, who served as director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), announced his decision in a post on X, saying, "after much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position effective today."
