"Joe Kent, President Trump's former top counter-terrorism official, is under investigation by the FBI's Criminal Division for allegedly improperly sharing classified information. The investigation began months before Kent's recent resignation, according to four individuals with direct knowledge of the probe who spoke to Semafor."
"Kent criticized the choice to engage in conflict with Iran, stating the country 'posed no imminent threat to our nation' and asserted 'it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,' citing this as his primary reason for resignation."
"As the Iran conflict unfolds, cyber incidents have resulted, such as the attack against United States medtech company Stryker and the potential, prevented attack against a Polish nuclear facility, demonstrating broader security implications of the escalating tensions."
