A senior intelligence official in the Trump administration resigned abruptly on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the U.S. and Israeli military campaign against Iran and raising questions about the justification for the conflict. Joe Kent, who had been serving as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation in a letter posted online. “After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today,” Kent wrote. He added that he could not “in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” arguing that Tehran posed no imminent threat to the United States.
