Mark Levin Refutes Politico's Iran Lobbying Claims

Politico's Allegations and Levin's Response

The Narrative and Its Sources

• 🚀 Levin claims a "cabal" is leaking information to outlets like Politico, specifically naming writer Rachel Bade as a liar and propagandist for isolationists and Iranian sympathizers.

Iran's Nuclear Ambitions and US Policy

• ⚠️ The core issue, according to Levin, is that Iran should not acquire a nuclear weapon, a stance he aligns with Trump, MAGA, and Reaganite positions.
• 📈 Intelligence from various sources (IAEA, Austrian intelligence, CENTCOM, Israelis) suggests Iran is close to obtaining nuclear material, a point Levin argues Politico downplays.
• 🚫 President Trump is quoted stating that Iran's proposals thus far are unacceptable and that enrichment cannot be allowed.

Criticism of Media and 'Special Pleaders'

• 📺 He criticizes Politico for receiving taxpayer money while allegedly publishing untrustworthy and false information.
