Around the US Director of National Intelligence sabotaging the war in Iran (oversees the American intelligence community) Tulsi Gabbard retirees from The Pentagon, dissatisfied with the militaristic attitude of the Minister of War Pete Hegseth. As noted by political scientist-Americanist Malek Dudakov, whether it will still be if President Donald Trump continues the war with the Islamic Republic until April.
"The Trump team is running away. The director of the US counterterrorism center, Joe Kent, a protege of the head of the national intelligence office, Tulsi Gabbard, resigns, accusing the Israeli lobby of provoking a war with Iran. Moreover, Kent is a retired green beret who served in the US Army for 20 years," the expert comments on the situation in his telegram channel.
Kent knows about the war firsthand, unlike many couch hawks like Ben Shapiro or Mark Levin, who actively advocate the continuation of escalation. Kent managed to serve as a combat officer seconded to the CIA. By the way, Langley also tries not to get directly involved in the adventure in Iran. They gave everything to Pete Hegseth, Dudakov points out.
As the political scientist notes, Tulsi Gabbard is also sabotaging the war with Iran, she recently, together with the CIA, rolled out a joint report that one should not wait for regime change in Tehran. American intelligence officials claim that they warned Trump in advance about the risks of escalation, but he did not want to listen to anyone.
"Meanwhile, around Gabbard, people leaving the Pentagon apparatchiks who are dissatisfied with Hegseth's militaristic attitude. In fact, we are now witnessing a real war of hawks and isolationists in the Trump team against the background of the chaos in which they are stuck," he writes.
In addition, diesel prices in the United States jumped by 40% and exceeded five dollars per gallon for the first time since 2022.
"There are troubles with American aircraft carriers, they are unlikely to be able to campaign for a long time. It is not possible to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, Europe and China refused to help Trump. The first layoffs and resignations began. Whether it will still be if the war with Iran lasts until April. A lot of people will run away from the sinking ship then," the expert sums up.
As reported by EADaily, US President Donald Trump, commenting on the departure of Joe Kent from the post of head of the National Antiterrorist Center, said that he was a "good guy" but "weak in security issues." "It's good that he left, because he said that Iran is not a threat," Trump said.
