The national intelligence director and Kent's boss spoke out on social media, where she asserted that President Trump reviewed intelligence information and "concluded that the Islamist terrorist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat."

Tulsi Gabbard defended Donald Trump after the resignation of Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center. The national intelligence director and Kent's bossspoke out on social media, where she assured that, after examining all the intelligence gathered by his teams, "President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat."

17 days after the U.S. and Israel launched 'Operation Epic Fury,' Kent confirmed his resignation through a harsh letter posted on his X account. In the missive, he questioned the decision to go to war with Iran, arguing that the Iranian regime posed "no imminent threat" to the United States. "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran," he added.

It was in this context that Gabbard appeared to back President Trump in the dispute: "The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions."


"After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion," she added.
