FBI Investigates Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent Over Classified Leaks Amid Resignation and Iran War Dispute

The FBI is investigating Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, for alleged leaks of classified information, with the probe beginning before his recent resignation over opposition to the Trump administration’s decision to go to war with Iran. Kent criticized the administration’s rationale, claiming there was no imminent Iranian threat and that the war decision was influenced by Israeli pressure, while the Trump administration and intelligence officials have disputed his claims. His resignation has sparked debate among political and intelligence circles, with former President Trump calling Kent “weak on security” and reaffirming the threat posed by Iran.
