Top Trump Official Resigns Over Iran War: ‘After Much Reflection…’

Kent further claimed that the conflict was initiated under pressure from Israel and its allies in Washington, a charge that is likely to intensify political debate over the administration’s decision-making.

“It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC,” he concluded, referring to President Donald Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Kent, a longtime supporter of Trump, is the first high-profile official to step down during the president’s second term over a major policy disagreement, underscoring divisions within national security circles.
