US National Counterterrorism Center director resigns over disagreement with war in Iran
Director of US National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) Joe Kent has resigned, according to a post on his X social media account.
"After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby," Kent wrote.
