Joe Kent: Appearing on the Tucker Carlson show, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Centre Joe Kent has revealed that Iran was never a nuke state. The former Make America Great Again (MAGA) loyalist said USA initiated the war under pressure from Israel. In response, US Donald Trump reposted an X tweet by Kent where he urged to initiate a war against Iran. Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) would look into allegations that Kent accessed unauthorized, confidential information.
Joe Kent-Charlie Kirk Connection
In the interview, Kent remarked that he met Kirk, Turning Point USA founder, and who told him to stop USA from getting into a war with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Kent went on to remark that Kirk was then suddenly assassinated publicly and no one was permitted to raise questions about the daylight murder. Kent also commented that the National Counterterrorism Centre was stopped from continuing to investigate the Charlie Kirk murder. Kent also claimed that Kirk was under intense pressure from pro-Israel donors.
Conservative podcaster Candace Owens reposted the interview clip of Kent, pointing to foreign intervention in the murder of Kirk.
Donald Trump Posted a Previous Tweet of Kent
United States President Donald Trump reposted a post on X by Joe Kent where he urged Trump not to wait before the next attack is made on the United States. In the post, Kent had said that it’s time to wipe out the ballistic capabilities of Iran.

FBI Investigation
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation has opened an investigation into Kent for possibly leaking sensitive intelligence.
According to media reports, the investigation predated the resignation meaning that Kent deliberately resigned knowing that he was about to be investigated.
The FBI and many other federal agencies have frequently targeted the political enemies and critics of Donald Trump for criminal investigations, usually without sufficient evidence to procure or sustain a criminal indictment. This was after Kent resigned and claimed that the Islamic Republic of Iran posed no imminent threat to the United States of America.
