Trump counterterrorism official resigns over Iran war

A top counterterrorism official is resigning over the Trump administration’s war against Iran. Joe Kent, the director of the U-S National Counterterrorism Center, is stepping down, saying he “cannot in good conscience” support the war. In a statement announcing his resignation, Kent said that Iran “posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel.” His resignation reflects unease among some of Donald Trump’s MAGA supporters about the war.
