Joe Kent, Donald Trump's National Counterterrorism Centre director, has resigned over the Iran conflict, alleging Israeli officials and American media influencers deceived the US president through a misinformation campaign.

Former Obama administration adviser Peter Loge discusses how this resignation may contribute to a narrative of an unravelling Trump administration and increasing public opposition to the war.
