Joe Kent, former head of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned in protest of the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran, arguing that Iran posed no imminent threat and criticizing the war as influenced by Israeli pressure. His departure has intensified scrutiny on National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, who has maintained a neutral public stance but is expected to clarify her position during upcoming Senate testimony. The resignation has sparked debate within the Trump administration and Congress, highlighting divisions over U.S. foreign policy and the potential political consequences of the conflict.
