About the episode

Joe Kent, Donald Trump's National Counterterrorism Centre director, has resigned over the Iran conflict, alleging Israeli officials and American media influencers deceived the US president through a misinformation campaign. Kent claims Iran posed no imminent threat to the US and that Trump was falsely led to believe attacking Iran would result in swift victory. Former Obama administration adviser Peter Loge discusses how this resignation may contribute to a narrative of an unravelling Trump administration and increasing public opposition to the war.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
