A top U.S. counterterrorism official resigned over opposition to the administration’s push for war with Iran, citing no imminent threat and influence from Israel and lobbying groups.

The U.S. National Counterterrorism Center director, appointed under the Trump administration, has resigned, citing opposition to the administration's military campaign against Iran. He stated Iran did not pose an imminent threat and attributed the push for war to pressure from Israel and pro-war lobbying groups.
