Head of US National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent Resigns Over Iran Attack Disagreement

Joe Kent, director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center, resigned from his position due to disagreement with a U.S. attack on Iran. Kent argued that Tehran did not pose a threat to the United States, leading to his departure from the counterterrorism agency. The outgoing director also called on the White House to take "bold steps," though the specific nature of these recommended actions was not detailed.
