Washington: The Iran war has become a nightmare for Trump, after important allies, important government officials also started leaving, the first major resignation has come.
Joe Kent, the director of the US National Counterterrorism
Center, has resigned from his post, opposing the ongoing war against Iran. In
his social media statement, Joe Kent said that he cannot support this war
against Iran according to his conscience.
He took the position that Iran was not an immediate threat
to the United States and that this war was launched as a result of pressure
from Israel and its influential American lobby.
In his resignation sent to Donald Trump, he said that
Israeli officials played a major role in involving the United States in this
conflict and a misinformation campaign was also launched for this purpose. He
added that the arguments for attacking Iran and the claims of quick success
reminded him of the situation before the 2003 Iraq War.
Joe Kent himself was a participant in the Iraq War, while
his wife Shannon Kent was killed in action in Syria. He wrote that as a man who
served 11 combat tours and lost his wife in a war started by Israel.
Joe Kent said that he could not support sending a new
generation into a war that was not in the interest of the American people and
that would cost human lives.
