WASHINGTON, DC: Mark Levin isn’t buying the idea that Donald Trump supporters are split over the strikes on Iran. On his show, he went after news reports claiming Trump’s base is falling apart because of those attacks.

Levin says the media is blowing things out of proportion, and it’s mostly critics trying to stir up trouble.

Mark Levin refutes claims of ‘MAGA split’

Mark Levin pushed back on reports, polls, and influencers, without naming anyone in particular, who say the war is unpopular with Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again base. “Polling? Seriously? Okay, I got a poll for ya,” he said on ‘Life, Liberty, & Levin’. “The latest poll shows 92% of MAGA supports the president of the United States.”



He continued, “These articles of ‘MAGA Split!’, MAGA’s not split! You got a couple of n*t jobs who are not MAGA, who are like neofascists out there, they have their own little audiences that apparently don’t represent anybody. So I wouldn’t sweat that media.”

The comments came as the United States continued military operations tied to the escalating conflict with Iran, a campaign that has intensified political debate in Washington and among conservative media figures.

Mark Levin defends Trump Iran strikes as ‘peace mission’

Levin also defended the military operations, characterizing them as necessary and justified in response to threats posed by Iran’s leadership and regional activities.

Levin reiterated his argument on Saturday that the military operation is a “peace mission” that will liberate 92 million Iranians.

He shared his thoughts on March 7, shortly after several well-known commentators criticized Trump’s attacks on Iran earlier in the week. Tucker Carlson claimed the whole thing happened just because Israel pushed for it. Megyn Kelly called it “clearly Israel’s war.” She even singled out Levin and a few others, saying they pressured Trump into going after Iran.

Fighting spread quickly after the US and Israel teamed up to hit Iranian targets earlier in 2026.

Those strikes targeted military sites and top Iranian leaders as part of a broader push to bring down the country’s government. Tensions in the Middle East have only worsened since then. An NBC News poll on Thursday found 77% of Republicans support Operation Epic Fury, while 89% of Democrats oppose it.

A PBS News/Marist poll released on March 6 showed 56% of Americans oppose US military action in Iran. The poll was similar to NBC’s and found that most Republicans (84%) support the strikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of other leaders, while 86% of Democrats oppose the strikes.
