Former counter-terrorism head investigated by FBI over alleged leaks

A former counter-terrorism official resigned Tuesday amid disagreement over Iran policy, stating the country did not pose an imminent threat to the U.S. The resignation now forms part of an FBI investigation into alleged leaks from the official's tenure. The investigation suggests tensions between the intelligence community and current administration policy over Iran threat assessment. The official's departure reflects broader friction over how the White House is characterizing and responding to Iranian activity. The case underscores internal divisions over classified threat assessments during a period of heightened U.S.-Iran tensions.
