🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump just fired 49 Tomahawks in a single night, and the man who ran America's counterterrorism center says the math behind this war stopped working a long time ago. Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, says this week is exactly what he's warning about. Over 100 days of massive combat power, multi-million dollar munitions burned nightly, all billed to the taxpayer for a tit-for-tat with no end date. The risk-versus-gain makes zero sense, and Kent says Washington needs the diplomatic off-ramp before escalation removes the option entirely. Joe Kent

🇺🇸🇮🇷 American soldiers were killed in their sleeping quarters, on the same bases America built 20 years ago. Former director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent says the deaths this weekend happened in static positions using the exact infrastructure left over from the war on terror, and any military professional recommending that posture should be laughed out of the room. The Ukraine war proved it years ago: static equals dead against drones and missiles. With Americans dead and four nights of strikes in response, Kent's message is clear. Now is the moment to leave, before the cycle starts again. Joe Kent

🇺🇸 A new political movement was born at that Tucker dinner, and its whole premise is ENDING forever wars. Fmr. U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent says the group gathered as MAGA people disappointed with how the Trump administration turned out, and the appetite outside the room is enormous: "Regardless of who you vote for, you get another war in the Middle East." Between 60 and 70% of Americans call themselves independents. Nothing is formal yet, but Joe says they're building a coalition across left and right around the one thing both sides agree on.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The people around Trump allegedly know there's no military solution, and nobody will tell him. Former director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent says the truth is understood inside the administration, and the political courage to voice it is what's missing. His parallel cuts deep: this is allegedly becoming an LBJ situation, a leader who privately knows the war can't be won but can't exit without it defining and destroying everything else he's built. The off-ramp exists. The will to take it is the missing ingredient. Joe Kent

President Trump just slammed Joe Kent Joe Kent before taking off for Memphis, saying, “I’m not a fan of the guy.” Trump said Kent always agreed with him that Iran is a threat, and has been for the last 47 years… and then he said Kent’s social media posts randomly changed. Trump says he wanted to be nice to Kent when he lost his congressional races and after his wife died… so he gave him a job in the White House as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Trump says he regrets being nice to Joe Kent, because Kent never appreciated it and repaid Trump’s kindness with disloyalty and disrespect.

Former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, suggests Trump was not hearing from key voices like Tulsi Gabbard and JD Vance before starting the war in Iran. “You had an entire small group that was down there just with the president.” “While you had the DNI, the Vice President, other key members… far away from those decisions that were being made.” “The imagery that came out of that night kind of showed you what the president’s tight circle was.” “Versus some other folks who may have had the ability to offer the president a different perspective.” Megyn Kelly Joe Kent

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump has locked himself in a mental prison: total military victory or a signed piece of paper. Fmr. U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent believes the Gulf talked Trump out of the strike by warning Iran would hit more energy infrastructure, worsening the very crisis he's trying to fix. But refusing to simply walk away is what hands Tehran the upper hand, and Joe worries about the day Trump hears he lacks escalation dominance: "I'll show you. I actually have escalation dominance. Now watch this." Joe Kent

🇮🇷 The IRGC wants to get hit. It rallies their people and strengthens their hand. Ex-Head of Counter-Terrorism Joe Kent explains why staying in the region only makes things worse. "The war state for the Iranian leadership right now, especially the IRGC, it actually works out in their favor." Trump should flip the table, walk away, and come back on his own terms. Joe Kent

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The security card the U.S. held over Iran for 40 years just stopped working. Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, says Iran won strategically. The myth of American rescue is over. Israel was punching out of its weight class because of U.S. backing, and that backing just got tested. He says Trump can still turn it into a win with a historic Iran deal. But getting involved in disarming Hezbollah? That's a trap. The real threat to America isn't over there. It's the 18,000 people with terrorist ties the Biden administration let cross the border. Joe Kent

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Foreign intelligence allegedly spied on Trump's own officials, and their crime was wanting this war to end. Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, says Israeli intelligence has burrowed deep into America's most classified military systems. So deep, in fact, that foreign assets allegedly kept tabs on administration officials pushing for restraint. Think about that while the U.S. bombs Iran nightly and the diplomacy camp keeps shrinking. Joe says the whole culture around how Washington handles its allies has to change, and fast. Joe Kent

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Trump was handed a rigged choice: a deal worse than Obama's, or a war worse than Bush's. Joe Kent, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, gives Trump genuine credit for walking toward a ceasefire. Then he lays out exactly how the hawks plan to yank him right back in. Here's the trap. The second Iran's frozen money gets released, Kent says the intelligence will start trickling in that some of it landed with Hezbollah and Hamas. Unconfirmed IRGC chatter is already hinting at it. And that funding becomes the manufactured "violation" that greenlights the next war. His way out? Refuse the whole setup. Pull the troops so Iran can't touch them, hold back the cash, and pry Hormuz open piece by piece. Do that, Kent says, and Trump walks away with a better deal than Obama and a country finally out of its forever wars. Joe Kent

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran wants Washington to explicitly acknowledge its right to collect fees in the Strait of Hormuz. That demand sits alongside an immediate end to the naval blockade and the lifting of oil and gas sanctions. Fmr. U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent says most Trump voters wouldn't even register the detail: "They all want President Trump just to leave this war." As long as gas prices hold, Joe argues, the tolling terms barely land at home. What lands is the pump, and the window to walk away is narrowing fast. Joe Kent

🚨 Joe Kent: The Israelis have consistently been several steps ahead of us "Early on in the war, the Israelis got us on board with killing the Ayatollah, and then they went and killed the negotiators and a lot of the moderates. The reason why the Israelis did that was because they knew this war in America would become very politically controversial, and so they wanted to make it so that we couldn't extricate ourselves from it. And I think we're seeing the result of that right now." Joe Kent
