00:20Iran is nowhere close to nukes.
00:23That's the explosive claim from former U.S. counterterrorism chief Joe Kent
00:29in his first interview after resigning. Speaking to Tucker Carlson, Kent directly
00:35contradicted the core justification behind the ongoing Iran war. He said Iran posed no imminent
00:43threat to the United States and was nowhere near developing a nuclear weapon. In fact, Kent claimed
00:50U.S. intelligence showed no evidence that Iran was violating its long-standing ban on nuclear weapons.
00:57That threat simply did not exist, he said. Kent resigned just a day earlier, stepping down from
01:05his role under Donald Trump in protest of the U.S. entering the conflict alongside Israel.
01:12And he didn't stop there. Kent accused Israel of driving the United States into the war,
01:18saying the decision was influenced by pressure from a powerful pro-Israel lobby. According to him,
01:25Israel can handle targeted strikes and defense, but relies on U.S. power for large-scale wars like
01:33regime change. He warned that this conflict could spiral quickly, triggering retaliation,
01:39expanding across the region, and costing American lives. The war, now in its third week,
01:46has already seen strikes across the Middle East, rising oil prices and attacks on key energy
01:52infrastructure. But Kent's claim raises a critical question. If Iran was never close to nuclear weapons,
02:00then why is this war being fought? As Washington pushes forward, his warning is clear. The cost of this
02:08conflict may be far greater than the threat it claims to stop.
