- On Tuesday, National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent resigned in protest over the ongoing war in Iran, stating he could not "in good conscience support" the conflict.
- Kent's resignation letter condemned the war as violating campaign promises, alleging Israeli officials deployed a misinformation campaign to deceive the administration into believing Iran posed an imminent threat.
- White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt dismissed the letter as brimming with "false claims," while advocates for conscientious objection report surging inquiries from service members distressed by the conflict.

- Anti-War protests are surfacing three weeks into the conflict, revealing a significant rift within the MAGA movement between those supporting the president's decision and others questioning the logic of attacking Iran.
