US National Counterterrorism Center Director Resigns Over Iran War

Observant1
in Off-Topic
"The head ​of the National Counterterrorism Center resigned on Tuesday, becoming ‌the first
and most senior member of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to resign over the
war in Iran, saying Tehran ​posed no imminent threat to the United States."

"'I ​cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war ⁠in Iran.
Iran posed no imminent threat to ​our nation, and it is clear that we started this ​war due to
pressure from Israel and its powerful lobby,' Joseph Kent wrote in a letter to Trump posted on X."

    Nope! He went for the jugular.

    It is a strong message of "no confidence". Venezuela is no different. Nor will be Cuba.

    We are now just starting fires, for no particular reason.

    This has been posted several times elsewhere. Trump got conned by Israel to venture into this mess without laying out the end games. Now, America is standing alone.

    Iran has no plan to end of this conflict as Israel killed another senior official. Two desalination plants have been damaged and they are even more critical to human lives in the desert region. Several oil tankers have been damaged too while many are waiting. This escalation will prolong this conflict far beyond a few weeks as he stated.
