“No threat”: Kent says Trump was “deceived” into war with Iran by Israel, resigns

He said that Trump campaigned on the idea that “wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth… of our nation.” Kent noted a shift in Trump’s second term, saying that “high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign” that pushed the idea that a war with Iran was necessary. “As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and a Gold Star husband…I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people,” he wrote.
