Former Israeli Ambassador Doesn’t Think Iran War Will Last for an Extra 6 Months
Joe Kent says U.S. was pressured by Israel into fighting Iran despite no immediate threat, sparking debate as conflict enters its 20th day.
- Joe Kent, the former Director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation and said external pressure pushed the United States into the Iran war, not immediate danger.
- Regarding March 1, Kent argued 'There was no intelligence that said, hey, on whatever day it was, March 1, the Iranians are going to launch this big sneak attack, they're going to do some kind of a 9/11, Pearl Harbour, etc. There was none of that intelligence'.
- Singling out Israel, Kent said 'the imminent threat was not from Iran, it's from Israel' and asserted that the Israelis "drove the decision to take this action," setting off strikes.
- The White House pushed back, saying it strongly rejected Kent's assertions and defended the strikes as necessary, while U.S. Vice President JD Vance urged loyalty and said dissenters should step down.
- Kent's remarks have intensified debate over the origins of the conflict that began after joint US-Israel strikes earlier this year, while the wider conflict has entered its 20th day with no sign of abating.
