Well; if he's actually leaking classified information, then it's probably not a great thing... but if what I said is the actual case; then yes.
If you're talking about his changing position on Iran; I don't know. Exactly what constitutes an "immanent" threat is subjective; but his goal might have been to draw more public attention to the topic.
Agree that imminent threat is variously interpreted. If it is true that the Iranians possessed 460 kg of enriched uranium at 60%, would that qualify as imminent? And what information did Kent possess that informed his thinking that exceeded other security officials? He wasn't even getting updated information. And why wait so long to change his assessment? Why only after knowledge of his investigation is made known. I don't believe in coincidences any more.
So, in the case that he actually hasn't done something wrong; he would probably hang around in his position to see if Trump would eventually let him back in... but now the Iran war has already been going on, and the FBI investigation could take forever.... so, now he knows he is not going to be effective in his position going forward; his position is better filled by somebody who Trump/Patel will share information with.
No, but the mission creep of the meta narrative of disinformation is like that. The generals warned about this, and though some creep will happen they will keep us tacked to the plan and striking these facilities is part of the plan. This is actually a big victory, while yes they certainly retain some of the technical knowledge, but consider this is how they largely enrich the uranium. So essentially to make their uranium reach bomb-grade they need this facility. You are right some of the knowledge and scientist personnel remains (though I'd note we've made great strides on this front too)l, but this is their hard technical capability, this is the refinery itself, without this facility their nuclear materials are just worthless sand mixed with worm pee in both real life and a fun Frank Herbert's Dune analogy. Bye bye Natanz Nuclear Enrichment Facility, it was nice reading about you obsessively for decades Natanz Enrichment Complex, but now you will not be a problem for the rest of my lifetime at the least of it, praise Jesus.
According to recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports and statements from Iranian officials in March 2026, Iran has admitted to possessing approximately 440.9 kilograms (972 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60% purity.
This is reasonable, but I don't believe it is the truth.
Natanz Enrichment Complex was key in the imminency question of Iran's nuclear program as the question depends how well it can enrich the nuclear material and how fast, which being their best facility is their peak operational hypothetical imminency, which is a few months to weeks in theory. Was is the sweetest word in that sentence, as they have now been past tensed they will no longer be so imminent. Praise Jesus.
