Overview

• On June 4, Tucker Carlson alleged that Mark Levin lobbied the White House to advocate for war with Iran while exempting himself from service.
• Carlson argued there is no credible intelligence of an imminent Iranian nuclear weapon and warned that a strike could cost thousands of American lives and undermine President Trump’s standing.
• Mark Levin responded on June 5 by calling Carlson “a loathsome ass” and vowing to dissect his “incoherent” remarks on his radio show.
• Carlson contends that repeated warnings of Iran nearing a bomb since the 1990s have proven unfounded and that proponents of war seek regime change over diplomacy.
• Levin insists Iran is weeks away from weaponizing its uranium enrichment program and contends that a firm military posture is necessary to deter Tehran.
