Mark Levin Iran Policy
======================

Mark Levin Iran policy is Sean Davis's account, given on the same Megyn Kelly panel that later featured John Kiriakou, of the radio host's outsized informal influence on the decision to invade Iran. Davis says that while many administration staffers had campaigned against war with Iran and won internal staffing battles across the Pentagon and intelligence community, they were not the ones who ultimately made the real policy call, that fell to "outside voices" like Mark Levin and Senator Lindsey Graham, in a media landscape now also shaped by the podcast bros.

Kiriakou separately identifies Levin, alongside Ben Shapiro, as among the very few prominent commentators who consistently defend Israel publicly online.
