Kent's resignation exposes a war built on Israeli pressure, not American intelligence — dissenting voices were frozen out while a tight inner circle drove the U.S. into conflict with Iran. No intelligence showed Iran was planning an imminent attack, yet the administration launched strikes anyway. This is exactly the kind of reckless, lobby-driven foreign policy that gets Americans killed. Now, the timing of the FBI investigation raises further concerns, appearing less like accountability and more like retaliation.
Kent wasn't a principled whistleblower — he was a known leaker under FBI investigation before he ever resigned, cut out of briefings because the White House couldn't trust him. Iran was aggressively expanding ballistic missiles and pursuing nuclear weapons, giving Trump every reason to act. Operation Epic Fury was a necessary, evidence-based decision, not foreign influence.
