Disagreements over the ongoing war situation with Iran are increasing in the United States, resulting in visible rifts even at the highest levels of government.


In this context, Joe Kent, the director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, has resigned from his position.


According to reports, policy differences over the Iran issue have intensified, and this dispute is becoming a major challenge for President Donald Trump. It is being said that after key allies, now government officials are also resigning due to their disagreements with this policy.


In his statement, Joe Kent said that after careful consideration, he decided to resign. He added that he could not support the ongoing war against Iran, as he believes that the United States faces no immediate threat from Iran.


This resignation has further highlighted the disagreements within U.S. policy-making, and this development could also give a new dimension to the ongoing global debate over the Iran issue.
