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.

This post and story should be immediately retracted by ABC News for providing false information to intentionally alarm the American people. They wrote this based on one email that was sent to local law enforcement in California about a single, unverified tip. The email even states the tip was based on *unverified* intelligence. Yet ABC News left out this critical fact in their story! WHY? TO BE CLEAR: No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did.




Iran Armed Forces claims 220+ US CASUALTIES in past 24 hours — '21 killed and many wounded from US Fifth Fleet' — 'Around 200 killed or wounded at Al Dhafra Air Base' — 'US-owned oil tanker TARGETED in northern Persian Gulf'

Spill of oil in the sewage system has created a flowing burning river in parts of #Tehran after oil depots were bombed earlier tonight, setting the streets in the Iranian capital on fire.

🚨REPORT | Israel’s “Tornado plan” to “destroy Tehran”: Defense Minister Katz describes strategy for strikes in “high-visibility” civilian areas In a March 1 post on X, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz openly referenced a strategy involving strikes on “high-visibility” targets in civilian areas of Tehran, shedding light on the logic behind Israel’s recent attacks in the Iranian capital. Katz wrote that Israeli warplanes were operating “stand-in above the skies of Tehran” during Operation Roaring Lion and that “an uninterrupted airlift will operate for the powerful strike on Tornado targets in Tehran,” under a plan approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He described the attacks as targeting “regime and repression targets in the heart of Tehran.” Israeli military correspondent Doron Kadosh previously reported that internal planning documents outlined a “Tornado Plan” approved on May 29 that called for attacking “a concentration of targets with ‘high visibility’ in a civilian environment in the heart of Tehran.” The plan was described as “a tool of response to heavy Iranian fire directed at Israeli population centers,” rooted in a logic of deterrence and intended in part to help bring the campaign to an end. During earlier fighting on June 18, 2025, Katz used similar language to describe strikes in the Iranian capital: “A tornado storm is passing over Tehran. Symbols of the regime are being bombed and collapsing — starting with the state broadcasting authority, and soon other targets as well, while masses of residents are fleeing. This is how dictatorships collapse.”







Wow. Massive crowd erupts in applause after Secretary Pete Hegseth proclaims the Gospel. “Christ is King. He died for our sins. We are forgiven. He will come again in glory. Amen.” 🙏
