WASHINGTON, March 17 (Xinhua) — US National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent announced on social media on Tuesday that he has decided to resign from his post, saying he "cannot in good conscience support the current war in Iran."
“Iran did not pose an immediate threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war under pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” J. Kent wrote on social media.
In his letter to US President Donald Trump, J. Kent stated that at the beginning of this administration, senior Israeli officials and influential members of the American media “launched a disinformation campaign that completely undermined your ‘America First’ platform and sowed pro-war sentiment to push for war with Iran.”
J. Kent emphasized that he could not support sending the next generation “to fight and die in a war that does not benefit the American people and does not justify the cost in American lives.” –0–
