🔹 Mark Levin, a prominent U.S. radio and television host, harshly criticized the United States’ strategy in the ongoing war in 2026 with Iran in a post on the social media platform X. Levin emphasized that from the beginning, the United States did not arm opposition forces to the Iranian regime and left Israel aside, despite both being among the most valuable assets that could be used against the regime. According to him, early restraint, overreliance on negotiation agreements, and talk of exit routes that did not exist caused the war to be unnecessarily prolonged after initial military successes. He called for bringing in new advisors so that the current cautious approach would shift toward a more aggressive course of action; especially in a situation where diplomacy has stalled and Iran continues to resist.
