Fox News' Mark Levin says Iran war is about 'Trump vs Obama vs Biden', slams Democrats

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: A fresh monologue from Mark Levin is drawing attention for the way it reframes the ongoing Iran conflict, not just as a geopolitical crisis, but as a direct ideological showdown between three presidencies: Donald Trump, Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Speaking on his show 'Liberty’s Voice with Mark Levin', aired Wednesday, March 18, Levin argued that the current military approach toward Iran reflects a sharp break from what he described as failed strategies under previous Democrat administrations while also accusing Democrats of attempting to politically exploit the situation.

Mark Levin calls Dems' Iran strategy a 'disaster'

Levin accused the Democrats of undermining the commander-in-chief during wartime.

“The Democrats are looking for ways to sabotage the military campaign and the commander-in-chief. They have absolutely no plan on what to do about this.”

He then pivoted to contrast Trump’s doctrine with that of his predecessors, beginning with Obama.

“They had a president, Obama, his idea was, ‘Let me give the enemy billions and a 10-year runway to build nuclear weapons.’ Well, that’s a disaster.”

Levin didn’t stop there.

He argued that Biden effectively revived that same approach saying “Then we have Biden who stepped in, basically reintroduced it informally, the Obama plan, and gave them over a hundred billion dollars. How? By lifting sanctions on the regime.”

According to Levin, Trump’s policy marked a clear departure. 

“Donald Trump said no. He campaigned on no nukes. He campaigned on peace through strength, not on fortress America, not on isolationism. He could not have been clear.”

A major portion of Levin’s argument focused on what constitutes an “imminent threat,” pushing back on critics who question the urgency behind military action.

He laid out a hypothetical intelligence briefing to illustrate the stakes. “When Steve Witco comes back as a negotiator and says, ‘Mr. president in 10 days they will have 11 nuclear weapons, they won’t negotiate, they have 22 tons of nuclear material.’”

Mark Levin slams Joe Kent's resignation

Levin also briefly addressed the resignation of Joe Kent, using it as a cautionary example of internal dissent within national security ranks.

“He says there’s no imminent threat. I wish these people would define what they mean by imminent threat. Is imminent 9/11? You have to be hit before you act? Is imminent Pearl Harbor?”

“When Mr Kent was appointed, he was well aware of all of this. Something changed. something which is really inexplicable happened.”

He stressed the responsibility tied to high-level intelligence roles saying “You have an obligation to separate yourself from the situation particularly when you’re in that significant of a position.”

Levin also referenced reports about leaks allegedly made by Joe Kent.

“The reporting yesterday is the man was a leaker. You can’t have somebody who’s leaking who has access to the most classified of classified information.”

“I worked in the Reagan administration, the kind of information that crossed my desk would shock you but I have never discussed it.”
