A senior U.S. security official has resigned over the ongoing war in Iran, marking the first high-level departure from President Donald Trump's administration linked to the conflict.
Joe Kent, head of the National Counterterrorism Center, stepped down, saying he could not support the war and arguing that Iran posed no immediate threat to the United States.
In his resignation letter, Kent said the conflict was not justified, stating that Iran did not present an 'imminent threat' a key condition often cited under international law for launching military action.
He also claimed the war was influenced by external pressure, a point strongly rejected by the White House.
