Description

Joe Kent is the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned in March 2026 due to the war against Iran. Kent discusses the mistake of attacking Iran, the intrusive influence of Israel over U.S. foreign policy, ignoring that Iran is a rational actor, the pro-war bias in Washington, the U.S. contribution to creating ISIS, the curse of the forever wars, and the hubris following the military intervention in Venezuela.

I want to understand his statement.. “I am not a fan of iran i understand they are a terrorist regime” why is iran a terrorist regime. Who have they attacked in the last 50 years? Why isnt us and israel and uk and a lot of European countries terrorist regimes 🤔🤔

It's incomprehensible to me how Mr. Joe Kent considers Iran a "terrorist threat" more than the US, itself is. Talk about a double standard and a biased one-sided mindset!! By the same token, I do not belittle Mr. Kent's heroic stance against his former boss, Trump.

I still dont get how he could "sit through" a literal and ongoing genocide in Gaza and be a part of the machine that supplied the weapons for the murderers of innocent men, women and CHILDREN.

This guy is not against the war in Iran he simply is against losing a war in Iran. He's John Bolton basically.

This dude labeled Iranian government as terrorists when Iran hasn't started a war in centuries. Meanwhile America has terrorized not only the middle east but south America and Asia.

It's both US and Israel who assassinate leaders, kill civilians, destroy civilian infrastructures, create terror groups like ISIS and unleash them to create wide spread terror and destruction upon an entire region, all with complete impunity, and yet according to Joe Kent, it's Iran which is a terrorist regime! Of course, him being a tool of public deception, his remark is hardly surprising!

The irony: US is the biggest rogue regime, terrorizing the entire globe and yet this agent of the American deep state and its supporting oligarchy, shamelessly calls Iran terrorist.

Great that he is talking about the Israeli lobby/ fifth column but he still has blood on his hands.
