在伊朗战争爆发前，唐纳德·特朗普总统曾“准备好”与伊朗政权达成一项比巴拉克·奥巴马总统时期的《联合全面行动计划》更优的协议，美国国家反恐中心前主任乔·肯特在周四的X平台帖子中如此宣称。
“在让以色列将我们拖入这场战争之前，特朗普总统其实已经准备好达成一份比JCPOA（也就是奥巴马时期的伊朗协议）更棒的协议，”肯特写道。
“伊朗人以一种从未尊重过奥巴马的方式畏惧并尊重特朗普——他击毙了恐怖组织主谋卡西姆·苏莱曼尼，同时又足够审慎，不会让我们陷入只会利于伊朗、强化其强硬派的另一场中东泥潭的流沙之中，”他继续说道。

“这就是为什么他在2025年1月重新就职后，伊朗立即停止了其代理人对我们的袭击，并立刻开启了谈判，”肯特补充道。
肯特于今年3月因反对伊朗战争辞去反恐职务，他在周四的帖子中声称特朗普仍能在该问题上“纠正路线”。
“特朗普总统仍能纠正路线，但他必须打破我们目前陷入的僵局：让我们摆脱军事对峙。约束以色列。利用制裁豁免的潜力，开放霍尔木兹海峡，并就核问题达成新协议，”他建议道。

周四，福克斯新闻数字频道就此事请求白宫置评，白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔发表声明严厉抨击肯特。
“乔·肯特自我吹嘘的辞职信和近期言论充满谎言。最恶劣的是肯特的虚假主张：声称这个最大的国家恐怖主义赞助国并未对美国构成威胁，还称以色列迫使总统发起‘史诗愤怒行动’。作为三军统帅，特朗普总统基于确凿证据采取了果断行动，这些证据表明恐怖主义的伊朗政权构成了迫在眉睫的威胁，并正准备首先袭击美国人。特朗普总统的首要任务始终是确保美国民众的安全与保障，”英格尔在声明中说道。
周四在美国参议院军事委员会听证会上作证时，美国中央司令部（CENTCOM）司令布拉德·库珀海军上将表示，在“史诗愤怒行动”启动前的30个月里，“伊朗及其代理人已经袭击了美军人员和外交官约350次……大约每三天一次”。
但肯特在X平台的帖子中反驳称：“伊朗的代理人是在拜登任内袭击我们的部队和外交官，而非‘史诗愤怒行动’前的本届特朗普政府，因此才有了30个月的时间范围。特朗普2025年1月重新就职后，这些袭击就停止了。”

“伊朗停止其代理人的袭击，是因为他们知道特朗普会予以反击，且他们希望与特朗普达成协议。当时一份协议正在酝酿中，这份协议本会挫败以色列让我们卷入对伊战争的目标，所以以色列竭尽所能将我们拖入与伊朗的战争，”他补充道。
“伊朗克制其代理人，以及1月爆发的反对现政权的抗议，都表明特朗普的极限施压和战略性定点打击行动奏效了，可悲的是，这份成果被让以色列主导我们的决策方针给浪费了，”肯特声称。

Before the Iran war, President Donald Trump was “poised” to strike a “better deal” with the regime than the President Barack Obama-era Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent asserted in a Thursday post on X.
“Prior to letting the Israelis lead us into this war, President Trump was actually poised to cut a better deal than the JCPOA (aka the Obama Iran deal),” Kent wrote.
“The Iranians feared and respected Trump in a way they never respected Obama—he took out the terror mastermind Qasem Soleimani, yet was prudent enough not to get sucked into the quicksand of another Middle Eastern quagmire that would only favor Iran and strengthen its hardliners,” he continued.
US INTEL COMMUNITY AGREED BEFORE WAR ‘IRAN WASN’T DEVELOPING A NUCLEAR WEAPON’: EX-COUNTERTERRORISM CHIEF

“That’s why, as soon as he returned to office in January 2025, the Iranians stopped their proxies from attacking us and were immediately open to negotiations,” Kent added.
Kent, who quit the counterterrorism post in March due to his opposition to the Iran war, asserted in the Thursday post that Trump could “still correct course” on the issue.
“President Trump can still correct course, but he has to break the current stalemate cycle we are in: Get us out of the military standoff. Restrain the Israelis. Leverage the potential of sanctions relief to open the Strait of Hormuz and secure a new deal on the nuclear issue,” he advised.

In response to Fox News Digital’s request for a comment from the White House on Thursday, spokesman Davis Ingle provided a statement slamming Kent.
“Joe Kent’s self-aggrandizing resignation letter and recent comments are riddled with lies. Most egregious are Kent’s false claims that the largest state sponsor of terrorism somehow did not pose a threat to the United States and that Israel forced the President into launching Operation Epic Fury. As Commander-in-Chief, President Trump took decisive action based on strong evidence which showed that the terrorist Iranian regime posed an imminent threat and was preparing to strike Americans first. President Trump’s number one priority has always been ensuring the safety and security of the American people,” Ingle said in the statement.
While testifying at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Thursday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said that during the 30 months prior to when Operation Epic Fury began, “Iran and its proxies had been attacking U.S. service members and diplomats about 350 times … about every third day.”
But Kent asserted in a post on X, “Iran’s proxies attacked our troops & diplomats under Biden, NOT under this Trump admin prior to Epic Fury, hence the 30 months time frame. When Trump returned to office in January of 2025 those attacks stopped.”

“Iran stoped [sic] its proxies from attacking us b/c they knew Trump would hit back & they wanted to reach a deal w/Trump. A deal was in the works, that deal would have thwarted Israel’s goal of getting us committed to a war against Iran, so Israel did everything they could to get us into a war with Iran,” he added.
“Iran holding back its proxies & the protests against the regime in January show that Trump’s max pressure & strategic targeted strike campaign was working, tragically this success was squandered by letting the Israelis drive our decision making,” Kent claimed.
