Mark Levin backed up President Trump today on Iran, and against those who are calling him a warmonger because he’s willing to bomb Iran to keep them from getting a nuclear weapon.

Here’s what Levin said:

A friend has posted a rather hysterical polemic, which is repeated daily, about the warmongers and the drums of war, etc., re Iran. I, for one, strongly support President Trump’s position, which is rather straightforward and easy to comprehend: either Iran voluntarily, through negotiations, abandons (dismantles) its development of a nuclear weapon or its nuclear facilities will be struck and destroyed militarily. President Trump has said for years that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon. The threat is too grave.

I reject the notion that President Trump is a warmonger or beating the drums of war when he says, in the bluntest way, that either Iran relent, or it will be bombed. He knows, as do most sensible people, that Iran’s terrorist masters are the warmongers and are constantly beating the drums of war, not the president or those of us who support him and his objectives. Attacking those who support the president but not the president directly for his oft-stated position seems intellectually dishonest and even cowardly to me.

That said, should Iran develop nuclear weapons, without our intervention or somebody’s intervention to stop them, what results thereafter will be on the heads of those who will have successfully preached appeasement in the face of terrorism and, worse, gave voice to an enemy that states again and again that they seek our country’s annihilation and does so with nuclear missiles aimed at our people. Of course, that’s little solace but it needs to be said.

 
Senator Tom Cotton backed Levin up, saying “Mark is correct”:

As usual, Mark is correct.

It was the Obama-Kerry position that we should trust Iran, implement a joke of a deal filled with loopholes that gave Iran billions, and hope for the best.

President Trump has been clear that Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon.

Remember, Iran is developing a missile program that could hit America.

A nuclear Iran is an existential threat to not just our allies—but to us.

I agree with both of them. A nuclear Iran would be horrific for the world, and yet I fear they will eventually succeed in developing nuclear weapons unless someone has the balls to stop them.
