Veteran Director Resigns Over Iran War

About this episode

Joe Kent, a decorated Army veteran and director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned in protest against the war with Iran, citing no immediate threat and accusing Israel of pressuring President Trump. Trump responded harshly, while critics from both sides weighed in, with some condemning Kents claims and others agreeing with his opposition to the conflict. Kent was confirmed in a close Senate vote with no Democratic support, despite past ties to far-right figures.

From the Daily News Now Network, this is Anchorage News Today. A dog named Charlie died outside the village checkpoint of Elam during this years I did a ride trail sled dog race. Race officials confirmed the news in a statement on Tuesday. Charlie had passed all required veterinary checks before the race, including blood tests and heart evaluations. The team flew Charlie to Unallocleet for a netcrop sea by a board-certified veterinary pathologist. This will help determine the exact cause of death. It was Charlie's first season racing with the team. Masha Christine Porcealed shared on Facebook that Charlie's standout trait was his over-the-top drive and attitude. Porceau, from Denmark and now living in Willow, is on her seventh I did a ride. She finished in the top 10 four times in her previous six races and won Rookie of the Year in 2020, the first woman to do so in over a decade. Under current race rules, a Masha must drop out if a dog dies, unless it was due to an unpreventable hazard, like a moose encounter.

Last year, a four-year-old dog named Maintana also died on the trail, and the cropsy there found no clear cause, but revealed she was pregnant. Officials are reviewing that withdrawal rule for the 2026 handbook. Meanwhile, the race continues as veterinarians monitor all teams closely.
