A significant shift has taken place in American national security this week as one of the country's most senior intelligence officials stepped down from his post. Joe Kent, the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), has formally submitted his resignation, signalling a deepening fracture within the administration's foreign policy circle.
While Kent was honoured to serve President Donald Trump's administration, he opposed the country's military strike on Iran. His departure follows a significant military operation that has reignited tensions across the Middle East.
