Fresh signs of internal divisions are reportedly emerging inside the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump amid escalating tensions with Iran. The developments come as Trump defended military action against Tehran, insisting he had “no choice” because Iran was allegedly moving toward acquiring a nuclear weapon. According to reports cited by Press TV and The Washington Post, two senior officials have reportedly resigned over disagreements tied to Iran policy and the broader military confrontation. Among them is former intelligence official Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a close ally of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The controversy intensified after former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent publicly argued that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to the United States and accused the administration of entering the conflict under pressure from Israel and pro-Israel lobbying groups.
