“Iran Was NOT A Threat” - Joe Kent's Resignation BLAMES Israel For U.S.-Iran War

Israel lobby blamed for war

Kent claimed high-ranking Israeli officials and American media deployed a misinformation campaign to deceive the President into war, using the same tactics that drew the U.S. into Iraq.

Viral public exit

His resignation tweet garnered 87 million views and 784,000 likes, becoming the most engaged-with political statement of the day and sparking widespread debate about foreign influence.

Dismissed as security risk

President Trump responded that Kent was 'weak on security' and insisted Iran posed a grave nuclear threat that required decisive military action to prevent weapons acquisition.

Contrast with Obama policy

Trump cited his termination of the Iran nuclear deal and criticized the Obama administration for sending hundreds of millions in cash to Tehran aboard Boeing 757s.

Previous warnings about Iran

Just three months prior on Sean Ryan's podcast, Kent warned that Iranian proxies had attacked U.S. troops over 150 times and suggested military escalation was becoming necessary.

Tucker Carlson allegations

Panelists alleged Kent may have shared classified intelligence with Tucker Carlson while employed, noting his first post-resignation interview is with Carlson.

Tulsi Gabbard's careful statement

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard issued a carefully worded statement asserting the President alone determines imminent threats, interpreted by analysts as neutral positioning to protect her position.

Non-committal White House response

When asked if Gabbard's job was in jeopardy, White House spokesperson Caroline Levage gave an evasive answer stating she had not heard the President say that.
