President Donald Trump has posted a 2020 tweet from Joe Kent on Truth Social in which the now-former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned sensationally Tuesday, argued in favor of attacking Iran.
In the message sent to Trump on January 8, 2020, shortly after the president ordered the assassination of Quds commander Qasem Soleimani, Kent wrote: “We should not sit and wait for the next attack, wipe Iran’s ballistic capability out and get our troops out of Iraq – they are only targets now.
