[Regnum] Joe Kent, head of the US National Counterterrorism Center,resigned on March 17 in protest of the military conflict with Iran.
According to him, the Islamic Republic does not pose an immediate threat to the United States.
โItโs obvious that we started under pressure from Israel and its influential American lobby,โ Kent wrote on social media X.
He also attached to his post a statement addressed to US President Donald Trump about his resignation.
โฆlaying out exactly what he predicted a war with Iran would look like. Tucker called it "the most reasonable, common sense, factual assessment I've seen from anyone."
Let's check the predictions against reality.

๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐: 13 American service members have been k!lled โ a tragedy, and every one matters. But "very bloody" predicted a catastrophic casualty toll. Operation Epic Fury is Day 18 with 6,000 combat flights flown, Iran's nuclear program buried, navy destroyed, and top leadership eliminated.

๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐บ: Iranians danced in the streets when Khamenei was k!lled. They celebrated Larijani's death today. The regime had to shut down the internet and deploy security forces to stop Iranians from rising up. One doctor called it "the best night of our lives."

๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐บ: Iran's proxy network โ Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis โ was already largely dismantled before the war began. The IRGC infrastructure that funded and directed them has been systematically destroyed over 18 days.

๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐บ: China is now being asked to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz โ the waterway carrying their own oil โ and being told that failing to do so will affect the Trump-Xi summit. The leverage is reversed.

๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐บ: Trump says it will be wrapped up soon. The Iranian people are celebrating in the streets. The regime's nuclear program is buried under rubble.
This is the man Tucker called the most reasonable analyst he'd ever heard on Iran. This is the man who just resigned as America's counterterrorism director saying Iran posed no threat.

Gabbard posted on X about the conflict, writing that her job is to present the president with all the best information to inform his decisions. Trump had decided that Iran posed โan imminent threat,โ according to her statement.
โDonald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country,โ Gabbard wrote on X, adding that her job is to โcoordinate and integrate all intelligenceโ for the president to make decisions.
โAfter carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion,โ she added.
In the hours after Kent resigned, two Trump administration officials told the Caller that he had been left out of all conversations on Iran.
One senior Trump official told the Caller that Kent was cut out of the presidentโs daily intelligence briefings months ago, alleging that he was a known leaker.
