当地时间3月17日，美国国家反恐中心主任乔·肯特宣布辞职，并在一封致美国总统特朗普的信中说，“无法昧着良心支持对伊朗的战争”。
US President Donald Trump's director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, announced his immediate resignation Tuesday, citing the decision to begin a war against Iran when "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."
肯特在社交媒体上发布一封致特朗普的公开信，信中写道：“我决定辞去国家反恐中心主任一职，即日起生效。我无法昧着良心支持正在进行的伊朗战争。伊朗并未对我国构成迫在眉睫的威胁，而且很明显，这场战争是迫于以色列及其在美强大游说集团的压力而发动的。”
Kent posted his resignation letter on X Tuesday morning. "I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran," Kent wrote. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."
in good conscience 凭良心，公道地
美国国家反恐中心隶属国家情报总监办公室，主要任务是收集和分析反恐情报，以及帮助政府制订反恐计划。
