"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 American lobby."
"There is, of course, as you see there, a real, very real human cost to this war. And too often, I think it gets reduced to an abstraction. I mean, the White House is posting like video game memes as if it's all just some like joke. And that's really been the kind of theme from the White House, the sort of utter indifference from the commander-in-chief to the seriousness of what he started to the seriousness of the loss of life."
Joe Kent, confirmed as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center in July, resigned in protest of the Iran war, stating Iran posed no imminent threat and the conflict resulted from pressure by Israel and its American lobby. His resignation letter echoed concerns raised by some MAGA personalities critical of the war. Kent faced significant opposition during his confirmation process, with all Democrats voting against him due to concerns about his extreme views and associations. MSNBC host Chris Hayes criticized both Kent's resignation letter for its anti-Israel sentiment and Trump's handling of the war, highlighting the administration's apparent indifference to casualties and its use of military deaths for fundraising purposes.
