Former National Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent urged his followers on X to contact the White House and their lawmakers to oppose deploying U.S. ground troops in Iran. Kent resigned from the Trump administration earlier this month over the war in Iran, claiming in his resignation letter that Iran “posed no imminent threat to our nation” and the United States started this conflict “due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” Kent said Trump will be under “immense pressure” to deploy ground troops this week as the war continues.
