Former US counterterrorism official Joe Kent has described a striking final encounter with Charlie Kirk, claiming the conservative figure urged him to intervene against a potential war with Iran shortly before his reported death. The account is drawing renewed attention as scrutiny grows over the Trump-era Iran conflict and divisions within political and national security circles.
Kent's remarks centre on what he characterises as a brief but forceful exchange inside the West Wing. He has framed the moment as significant in understanding internal opposition to US military action against Iran during that period.
