Washington, D.C., United States – Web Desk: A former director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, has urged the American public to oppose any potential ground military operation in Iran.
In a public statement, Kent called on citizens to contact the White House and members of US Congress, asking them to prevent the deployment of US ground forces in Iran. He also reportedly shared contact details to facilitate public outreach.
Kent warned against escalating military involvement, emphasizing that sending ground troops could have serious regional and global consequences. He referenced remarks attributed to Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, President of Egypt, suggesting that only Donald Trump could play a decisive role in halting ongoing tensions in the Gulf region.
The appeal comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and growing debate within the United States over military strategy in the Middle East. Analysts say such public interventions by former officials reflect increasing concern about the risks of deeper conflict.
