WASHINGTON DC — Trump administration ko ek bada jhatka laga hai jab National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) ke Director Joe Kent ne 17 March 2026 ko apne pad se istifa de diya. Kent ne khul kar elaan kiya hai ki wo Iran ke khilaf is gair-zaruri jung ka saath nahi de sakte.
Istifa Letter Mein Bada Khulasa:
Joe Kent ne apne resignation letter mein Trump ki “Iran War” narrative ki dhajjiyan uda di hain:
No Imminent Threat: Kent ne saaf kaha ki Iran se America ko koi turant khatra (imminent threat) nahi tha.
Israel Ka Dabav: Unhone khulasa kiya ki ye jung sirf Israel aur uske powerful American lobby ke dabav mein shuru ki gayi hai.
Trump Ki Wada-Khilafi: Kent ne yaad dilaya ki Trump ne “Forever Wars” khatam karne ka wada kiya tha, lekin ab wo khud usi jaal mein phans chuke hain.
Kaun Hain Joe Kent?
Joe Kent koi aam afsar nahi hain:Military Background: Wo ek retired Army Green Beret hain jinhone Middle East mein 11 combat deployments kiye hain.
Intelligence Expert: Wo CIA ke paramilitary officer bhi reh chuke hain.
Gold Star Spouse: Unki patni Shannon 2019 mein Syria mein ek suicide bombing mein Maut hui thi.
Trump Ka Gusse Wala Jawab:
Trump ne hamesha ki tarah Joe Kent ko nishana banaya aur kaha, “Wo security ke mamle mein bahut kamzor (weak) hain. Achha hua ki wo chale gaye”. White House ke afsaron ne un par “leaker” hone ka ilzam bhi lagaya hai.
TWU Assessment: Joe Kent ka istifa Trump ke liye ek bada moral aur political failure hai. Jab NATO allies saath dene se mana kar rahe hain aur America ki sirf 25% janta jung ke saath hai, tab ek top counterterrorism expert ka ye kehna ki “jung jhooth par tiki hai,” Trump ki kursi hila sakta hai.
