What did Trump say about Joe Kent, the official who resigned over Iran?
USA TODAY
Head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent resigned over the war in Iran. President Donald Trump called him 'weak on security.'
A U.S. counterterrorism official resigned on March 17 over the war in Iran, the first from President Donald Trump's administration.
Joe Kent, former head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, said in a letter posted to X, "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
Thousands have been killed in the ongoing war that started with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran on Feb. 28. Trump is scheduled to attend the third dignified transfer of fallen soldiers from this conflict on March 18. Trump has said Iran has been thoroughly defeated, but has not given an end date for the war.
