The former director of the US National Counter-Terrorism Center, Joe Kent, called in an article for US President Donald Trump to end the war with Iran today and to fire all senior officials connected to the war. The official, who retired from the Trump administration, said that the president must replace his inner circle with new officials who are able to rise above the prevailing attitude in Washington and fulfill what he promised the American people during the election. Kent wrote in an article published by Responsible Statecraft: "Now is the time to end the war with Iran. This is an undeniable fact, and vice president J. Dee Vance admitted it. "He added that more than 70% of voters see the war with Iran and the unequal relations with Israel as the cause of the severe inflation that affects their daily lives, noting that they no longer accept unnecessary optional wars.
