Joe Kent - a Gold Star husband, retired Green Beret, and veteran of 11 combat tours - has dramatically resigned as the U.S.’s top counterterrorism official, just days after being appointed by President Donald Trump.
In a statement, Kent said he could not support the ongoing war in Iran, arguing the country posed no imminent threat and claiming the conflict was driven by pressure from Israel and its allies. His remarks have sparked fierce backlash, with prominent conservative voices calling for scrutiny of his actions.
Trump has since distanced himself from Kent, publicly criticizing his judgment. The fallout highlights growing divisions within the conservative movement over the war.
Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise globally, with Trump now warning NATO allies over the Strait of Hormuz and even threatening to reconsider U.S. involvement in the alliance.
