US Counterterrorism Director Quits in Protest of Iran War Plans

I’ve noted since this conflict began that many senior military and intelligence officers in the US oppose a war with Iran. That sentiment runs through the ranks, as shown by the recent USS Gerald Ford incident and reported sabotage onboard. Now the Trump-appointed director of the US National Counterterrorism unit, Joe Kent, has resigned. He published his resignation letter on his verified X handle. Kent argued that a war with Iran serves no US interest and benefits only “Jewish war hawks.” Some critics accuse anyone against this war of being Muslim or terrorist sympathizers. Next, Tulsi Gabbard—Trump’s current Director of National Intelligence—may follow suit. She campaigned on a pledge of no new foreign wars and could resign soon.
