Washington: Amid ongoing U.S. military operations against Iran, a wave of concern swept through Washington when one of the nation’s top security officials stepped down from his position. Joseph Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), resigned while making serious allegations against President Donald Trump.
In his resignation statement, Kent directly accused President Trump of acting as a puppet of powerful pro-war lobbies in both Israel and the United States. His departure comes at a critical juncture, as the conflict between the U.S. and Iran enters its third week and the United States appears to be facing increasing isolation on the global stage.
