Joe Kent, the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation on March 17, 2026, becoming the first senior official to step down over the Iran war. The letter of resignation, posted publicly online, revealed Kent’s disapproval of the war, stating that he ‘cannot support the war in Iran.’ He argued that Iran posed no imminent threat to the U.S and that the war was influenced by Israeli and American lobbying pressure. Kent, a former Green Beret, CIA paramilitary officer, and a close associate of Tulsi Gabbard, compared the situation to the Iraq War misinformation, warning that the U.S. is repeating past mistakes. His anti-war stance led to mixed reactions among lawmakers, with some supporting him and others accusing him of weakness and controversial views. The ongoing conflict, which began around February 28, 2026, continues to cause regional escalation and global concern.
