After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. 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.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
⚡️🇫🇮JUST IN: Finnish President Stubb on the UN:
No single state should have a veto power.
If a Security Council member violates the U.N Charter, its voting rights should be suspended.
I concur with my colleagues here. Ursula Von Der Leyen is not an elected President of Europe. She does not speak for all EU member states and should not continually be expressing unconditional support for Israel - seemingly on behalf of the EU.

"I've seen estimates that we could end homelessness in America for $11b to $30b a year. Instead, we've spent over $22 billion since 2023 on bombs used to slaughter and displace an entire population. It's time to rethink our priorities."
Israel has blocked aid from entering Gaza for over two months. Gazans are at risk of starvation.
International law requires Israel to allow aid to get to civilians. Gaza is no exception to this rule.
All European members of the Security Council call on Israel to let aid in now.
