Joe Kent Resigns Over Iran Operation

Joe Kent, the head of the United States===National Counterterrorism Center, resigned from his position due to disagreements with the Donald Trump administration's operation in Iran. Kent stated in his resignation letter that Iran did not pose an imminent threat and that Israel pressured the United States into the war, claims which Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, has refuted as 'false claims' backed by intelligence. Donald Trump has expressed full confidence in Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, who is scheduled to testify before the United States===United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on worldwide threats. The United States===Director of National Intelligence recently hired Dan Caldwell, who was previously accused of leaking classified information, adding another layer of controversy to the intelligence community.
