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.

Outgoing GOP senator torches Trump's Iran deal: 'Worst foreign policy blunder in decades'

A Republican Senator whom President Donald Trump drove from office unloaded on his Iran deal on Tuesday, calling it the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican in the final months of his Senate term after losing his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, posted the broadside on X hours after the Trump administration read aloud the contents of its 14-point memorandum of understanding with Iran to reporters."Reagan is rolling over in his grave," Cassidy wrote. "Iran's nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future."He ticked through the costs: 13 American service members dead, families paying elevated gas prices from the Hormuz closure, sanctions set to be lifted, and bombing halted — with Iran now positioned to rebuild."This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades," Cassidy wrote.The senator also told Nexstar on Capitol Hill: "The details that I've seen so far look … awful."Cassidy voted to convict Trump after his second impeachment. Trump backed a primary challenger against him in retribution — and after losing that primary last month, Cassidy immediately flipped to support a Democratic war powers resolution seeking to force Trump to end the Iran conflict.The broadside lands as the MOU's terms drew fresh scrutiny. Senior administration officials read the agreement aloud to reporters Tuesday, revealing immediate waivers on Iranian oil exports, a $300 billion reconstruction framework, and a 60-day negotiation window to resolve Iran's nuclear program. The deal does not bar Iran from enriching uranium, deferring the question to final talks.Cassidy was not alone. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the emerging deal "not remotely America First."The deal is set to be formally signed on Friday at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland.
