From the Daily Caller:\n<\/p>\n

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard issued a statement on X hours after the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) resigned over war with Iran.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Joe Kent\u00a0posted\u00a0on X that he was resigning from his situation effective immediately because he couldn\u2019t support Trump\u2019s conflict with Iran. Following the resignation, reports swirled on social media speculating about what led to Kent\u2019s resignation.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Gabbard posted on X about the conflict, writing that her job is to present the president with all the best information to inform his decisions. Trump had decided that Iran posed \u201can imminent threat,\u201d according to her statement.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Director Gabbard highlighted that President Trump was \u201coverwhelmingly elected by the American people,\u201d and that it is his responsibility to determine \u201cwhat is and is not an imminent threat,\u201d as well as \u201cwhether or not to take action he deems necessary.\u201d You can read her full statement below.\n<\/p>\n

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the\u2026\n<\/p>\n

In his X post announcing his resignation, Kent claimed \u201cIran posed no imminent threat to our nation\u201d and that the conflict was started \u201cdue to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Kent is not the first conservative to criticize Operation Epic Fury. Representative Thomas Massive has staunchly opposed to the operation since the beginning. Meanwhile, conservative commentator Matt Walsh has not outright opposed the operation, but he has repeatedly questioned its necessity. And of course, more controversial voices on the right like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes has not been shy about condemning President Trump. Kent\u2019s resignation, however, shows that opposition to intervention in Iran has entered the administration itself. The question now is how far that opposition will spread and how much division it will create.\n<\/p>\n

Many on the right fail to understand just how dangerous Iran is. They also fail to see just how important Israel is, both to the Lord and to the United States. This puts President Trump in a precarious position. Not only is he hated by the left, but now many in his own party are turning on him. And as the midterms draw closer, disagreements and division in both the Trump administration and the conservative movement threaten to collapse the powerful MAGA coalition that created a Republican trifecta in Washington.\n<\/p>\n

As Operation Epic Fury continues, let\u2019s pray for Americans to be unified behind the Trump administration. Let\u2019s ask God to open people\u2019s eyes to the truth about Iran, Israel, and the Middle East!\n<\/p>\n
