Joe Kent has addressed a prayer event to speak out against the war in Iran, following his resignation as the director of the US National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). Kent stated that he could no longer serve in a capacity that supported a conflict he fundamentally opposed. His departure marks one of the most high-profile resignations within the US intelligence community since the start of the hostilities. During the event, Kent emphasized the human cost of the war and called for a diplomatic resolution, suggesting that the current military path undermines long-term national security interests.
