Trump dismisses Kent's resignation over Iran war claims
President Trump called Joe Kent's resignation as National Counterterrorism Center director "a good thing," stating he was "weak on security" for claiming Iran wasn't a threat. Trump countered that Iran remains a threat, criticizing NATO for not supporting military action. Kent's resignation letter alleged Iran posed no imminent threat and accused Israel of influencing the US into the war. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt refuted Kent's claims, stating Trump deployed assets against Iran due to its terrorism sponsorship and threats.
