MAGA Fox News host in disbelief at Trump's 'unthinkable' deal: 'Keep shaking my head'

Fox News host Mark Levin criticized President Donald Trump's Memorandum of Understanding with Iran across a series of posts on X, with his sharpest break coming over the deal's soft treatment of Hezbollah."On top of this, we do the unthinkable," wrote Levin, a longtime Trump defender who has broken with the president over the agreement. "We capitulate to Iran's demand to protect Hezbollah."The conservative host argued that the Iran-backed group, which he said has "brutally murdered hundreds of our fellow citizens," would emerge from the ceasefire untouched. Under the terms Levin described, Hezbollah "not only survives but is immunized" and remains "free to continue to kill Americans, Israelis, and others."Levin took aim at the deal point by point. He characterized a reported $300 billion development fund for Iran, a provision that has drawn alarm from analysts, as a "shiny object," and said the sanctions waivers meant "the Iranian regime is back in business." At one point, Levin wrote, "I just keep shaking my head," calling parts of the deal "too absurd to comprehend."He also faulted how the administration handled the document's release, writing that the "roll out was unhelpful" and questioning why the text was not made public when it was signed.Levin closed with a warning, writing that "this MOU requires serious changes if not outright abandonment." Without them, he said, "a forever war — a continuation of Iran's war on the West — is not in doubt."The posts come amid broader pushback from conservatives over the deal. Trump announced the agreement to end the war with Iran over the weekend, extending a ceasefire that includes Lebanon for 60 days. The deal is expected to be formally signed on Friday in Geneva.
