Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.
After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

@PressSec You're back pedaling, Karoline. You're back pedaling! Trump "felt it in his bones." That was the reason he gave. Everyone believes Joe Kent who operates off of intelligence and evidence and a vast amount of experience that trump lacks

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."
This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.
As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.
This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.
Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.
Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.
The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.
The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.
But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.
President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.
All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury.
The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments.
And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon.
As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period.
America First.
Joe Kent@joekent16jan19
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.

@marklevinshow The highly respected, decorated war veteran and staunch conservative, Joe Kent, laid out very clearly why he was leaving the administration. If they talk about this today and not about your having a micropenis, you should take the W.

I wonder if this guy Joe Kent was about to be fired but quickly resigned first. That's how these things typically work. He's part of that radical isolationist Woke Right cabal. Watch how the leftwing media use him to attack the president and the military campaign against Iran. In part, that's why he wrote that letter. I wonder if he was one of the leakers in the administration. Just asking questions.

@PressSec Would it be so wrong to have the White House press secretary be under oath when speaking to reporters and the American people? If she’s telling the truth, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Why do Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats in Congress want illegal aliens and other noncitizens on the voter rolls?

Schumer on the Save America Act: “It allows ICE to kick tens of millions of people off the voter rolls!”

@gotrice2024 This is sort of a modern take on the Escher staircase.

The man and his girlfriend were parked in this double helix parking garage. They didn’t come back the same way they came and now they can’t figure out how to get back to the same level the car is on. They see it through the wire fence but if they go the lower route they actually end up below the vehicle. If they take the higher route, they end up above it. Has this ever happened to you, how did you get back to your car?

@PamelaHensley22 Lucky for Gavin that character doesn’t mean Jack shit anymore. He’ll be a great president.

@atensnut Imagine being such a vile human being that you could inspire that kind of hatred in people.

@bennyjohnson Let's not let the Constitution stand in the way of Trump's ill-conceived, selfish and childish whims.

@JoeyMannarino The court owns nothing. Trump broke the law and now everyone is going to be punished except him.

@nicksortor If Trump doesn’t understand how the government works, why is he the president?
