Sen. Ted Cruz on Joe Kent's resignation over Iran war

Joe Kent, a top U.S. counterterrorism official, resigned Tuesday in protest over Iran policy, declaring that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation." Kent's departure represents a significant break within the Trump administration over military posture toward Iran, a nation long at the center of U.S. foreign policy debate. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas provided his reaction to the resignation, signaling potential fractures among Republicans on how aggressively to confront Tehran. The resignation underscores tension between administration officials over the threshold for military action and the assessment of Iranian threats. Kent's exit adds to scrutiny of the White House's Iran strategy as it navigates competing views on national security priorities.
