Also partly related but is there any truth about US being pressured by Israel to launch the war against Iran? Who is Joe Kent really

Is Jeffrey Epstein a Mossad agent?

No, Jeffrey Epstein is dead.

He wasn't a Mossad agent while alive, either - nor particularly supportive of Israel.

In one email appearing in the Epstein files, Epstein wrote: "I do not like Israel. AT ALL."

Why am I hearing stupid shit that Israel blackmailed the US to start the Iran War because of the Epstein Files?

People are stupid and lazy. A simple explanation which suits their existing opinions and biases is much more satisfying to embrace than complexity or nuance.

Regime officials are using Epstein as a wedge and promoting this sort of lie both publicly and on social media. Ali Larijani, the recently-deceased former head of the Basij paramilitary responsible for violently oppressing Iranians, wrote, in English, on Twitter, just a few days ago: "I’ve heard that the remaining members of Epstein’s network have devised a conspiracy to create an incident similar to 9/11 and blame Iran for it. Iran fundamentally opposes such terrorist schemes and has no war with the American people."

The Epstein files are genuinely murky and unresolved, which makes them a versatile conspiracy substrate. Because real details remain unclear (who his clients were, who protected him, what leverage he had, etc) people can project almost anything onto the mystery. A conspiracy theory is much more adhesive when it attaches to something that actually is partially obscure and actually did involve powerful people behaving badly. It's not pure fabrication from nothing, but an extrapolation from a real scandal with real unanswered questions, which gives it more psychological traction and makes it harder to dismiss wholesale.

...is there any truth about US being pressured by Israel to launch the war against Iran?

Based on publicly-available information, no.

There's no question that Israeli leaders have seen this regime ruling 90 million Iranians building its national identity partially on genociding Israelis...and regarded that regime as a threat. They're the reason the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah were able to attack Israel. When Israel so quickly owned Iranian skies in the 12-day war last year, this likely helped embolden Israel to use it's abilities to further degrade the regime's ability to threaten Israel. I've said before: Israel is a regional power seeking to degrade a regional threat and destabilizer, but that's not what's driving the Trump administration.

The Trump administration is driven by a larger national security strategy which Trump has been clear on for a very long time: China is the threat, China is an aspiring world hegemon, and Trump thinks the US should flex its still vastly-superior military muscle to obstruct China from that goal.

How many times have we seen, across decades and administrations, US administrations stop Israel in its tracks? When the US tells the Israelis to stop a military action, they stop. The tail is not wagging the dog. One of the two parties is the world's reigning superpower, the other is a regional power smaller than New Jersey. To suggest Israel is capable of pressuring the US is absurd.

Who is Joe Kent really?

Since you submitted this ask, we've learned that at the time of his resignation, had been under investigation by the FBI for months.

Among other things, he's a former Breitbart columnist, a recipient of financial campaign support from Steve Wynn amd Peter Thiel, and a pal of Tucker Carlson's.

Unsurprisingly, he lies a lot.

He claims Israel drew the US into the invasion of Iraq, which is ridiculous. The architects of that war were Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz. They'd been advocating for regime change in Iraq since 1998.

In his resignation letter, he blames Israel for the death of his wife, Shannon Smith: "...lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel."

In reality, Shannon Smith died in January of 2019, in Syria. ISIS claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing which took her life. The mission against ISIS in Syria was not manufactured by Israel, but the product of the Syrian Civil War and the rise of Islamist extremism. Israel had nothing to do with it.

In his letter, he wrote "There is zero evidence that Iran was trying to build a nuclear weapon, Netanyahu is warmongering."

Ali Motahari, former Deputy Speaker of the Iranian 'Parliament said explicitly: "...when we started our nuclear activities, our goal was to make the bomb, but we failed to keep it a secret."

He resigns...and is booked on Tucker Carlson within an hour. As soon as the Carlson interview drops, there's a boom of posts showing the exact same clip and the same commentary:

That's not organic. That's coordinated.

Jeffrey Epstein: Hey we gotta play it cool. You gotta tell them I'm not Mossad.

Formal Israeli PM Ehud Barak: That I'm not?

So the whole “Islamic terrorism” narrative is Literally a Zionist invention.

Not a conspiracy theory, but an actual conference in 1984, headlined by Netanyahu, built the script.

Tell me again who’s been manufacturing the narratives that justify endless war.

“The Jonathan Institute Conference on International Terrorism” or more precisely: “Second Conference on International Terrorism” (also known as the Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism – took place in Washington, D.C., in June 24–27, 1984).
