Summary

Joseph Kent, the United States' top counterterrorism official, has resigned in protest over the war against Iran, writing directly to President Trump to argue that Tehran did not represent an "imminent threat" to justify the offensive. In his resignation letter, Kent also denounced what he described as sustained Israeli pressure on Washington to launch the military campaign. The move marks one of the most significant internal dissents within the US national security apparatus since the conflict began.
