Fox News host Mark Levin and Senator Tom Cotton are praising President Donald Trump for his decisive leadership in confronting Iran’s escalating nuclear ambitions, calling him the right leader at a critical moment in history.
During a recent discussion, Levin emphasized the seriousness of the Iranian threat and expressed unwavering support for Trump’s approach. “We are fortunate to have a president who understands the stakes,” Levin said. “President Trump is the right man at the right time to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.”
Senator Cotton echoed that sentiment, warning that Iran is dangerously close to possessing enough enriched uranium to produce a nuclear bomb. Cotton, who serves as the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, noted that Iran’s progress on ballistic missile development also poses a growing threat to both American allies and the U.S. homeland.
“This is not just about Israel or Saudi Arabia. This is about the national security of the United States,” Cotton said. “Iran’s missiles are improving, and if this regime isn’t stopped, they’ll be able to strike anywhere.”
Both Levin and Cotton pointed to the failures of the Obama-Biden-era Iran nuclear deal, which funneled billions to the regime while doing nothing to permanently halt its weapons program. Trump’s maximum pressure campaign, they argued, put Iran on the defensive and showed real results.
Cotton also called for a total dismantling of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure—centrifuges, uranium stockpiles, missile development programs—drawing a comparison to the successful disarmament of Libya under the Bush administration.
“Libya gave up its weapons program, and the world was safer for it,” Cotton said. “That’s the model that works. Appeasement doesn’t.”
Both leaders made it clear: the only path to lasting peace is strength—and President Trump is delivering it.
