Former U.S. Counterterrorism Chief Says Iran Does Not Pose a Direct Threat to the U.S.

Joe Kent, the former director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center who resigned due to the Iran war yesterday, said in an interview with Tucker Carlson: "Iran does not pose a direct threat to the United States."

(Q: I cannot comfortably support this ongoing war against Iran. Iran does not pose a direct threat to our country. Iran does not pose a direct threat to our country. How did you come to this conclusion?)

"I think this is a key point.

If the Secretary of State, the President, and the Speaker of the House had not publicly admitted that we launched the attack at this time because Israel was about to strike, it would have been even harder to explain.

This directly refutes the claim of 'an immediate threat' — the so-called claim that Iran was planning to attack us immediately. Such a threat simply does not exist."
