Trump Dismisses Allegations that Iran Was Not a Threat
(The Hill) Ashleigh Fields - Joe Kent resigned as director of the National Counterterrorism Center after alleging that Israel influenced the U.S. decision to strike Iran and deceived President Trump "into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States." He called it "the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war." President Trump said Tuesday: "I read his statement. I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security, very weak on security....It's a good thing he's out, because he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran was a threat. Every country realized what a threat Iran was. The question is whether or not they wanted to do something about it."
