Joe Kent, a retired Green Beret combat veteran and longtime Donald Trump supporter, resigned as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center on March 17, 2026, in a dramatic protest against the ongoing U.S. war in Iran. In his public resignation letter posted on X, Kent declared that he could not in good conscience continue serving, asserting that Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States and that the conflict was initiated due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. This marked the first high-profile resignation from the Trump administration over the war, highlighting emerging fractures within the “America First” coalition between interventionist impulses and non-interventionist principles, as Kent urged the president to reverse course to avoid further unnecessary American casualties and costs in a conflict he viewed as misaligned with national interests.
