Fox News host Mark Levin is urging President Donald Trump to press ahead with efforts to dismantle Iran’s ruling regime, arguing that any agreement signed with Tehran will ultimately prove meaningless because the Islamic Republic cannot and will not abide by its commitments.

Levin made the remarks last night during his Life, Liberty & Levin program, just one day before Trump said that a deal with Iran was expected to be signed.

According to Levin, whether the arrangement takes the form of a memorandum of understanding or a final agreement is largely irrelevant because Iran’s leadership will never genuinely comply with its terms.

“A memorandum of understanding, from my perspective, or a final deal will not matter to the Iranian regime,” Levin said. “It will not matter to the Iranian regime, even if they sign on the dotted line tomorrow, the next day, whenever. Or if they are bombed into signing — one or the other, or both, at some point. They will never abide by any of it.”

Levin argued that the nature of Iran’s ruling ideology makes lasting compliance impossible, maintaining that the regime views the United States as an enemy it is religiously and politically committed to defeating.

“They cannot [abide], they cannot. Because as a matter of religious and political ideology [and] doctrine, they will not in the end bend to the demands of the great Satan. They will not bend to the demands of the very people and society and government they exist to destroy by any means necessary.

“They would be committing an act of defiance against Allah, for whom they are committed to die. We and they are on two totally different wavelengths. Totally different wavelengths. They view the act of diplomacy as a last resort, but as a resort to survive. For them to survive, and ultimately for us to lose.”

The conservative commentator contended that Tehran sees negotiations not as a path to peace but as a temporary tactic designed to preserve the regime while allowing it to continue pursuing its long-term goals.

Later in the broadcast, Levin compared Trump’s partnership with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to the historic alliance between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill during World War II. Nevertheless, he said the military gains achieved against Iran should be completed rather than traded away for a diplomatic settlement.

“I continue to truly believe we should finish the spectacular military achievements we have won on the Iranian people and get it over with. I truly do,” Levin said. “The mass-murdering death cult that is the Iranian regime is not going to commit suicide.”

Levin’s comments carry added significance because he has been among Trump’s most vocal supporters in recent years. During a Chanukah event last winter, he famously referred to Trump as the “first Jewish president,” and he has consistently praised the president’s handling of the confrontation with Iran, including the military campaign launched earlier this year.

The broadcaster has also become a central figure in the debate among conservatives over America’s role in the conflict. After media personality Megyn Kelly argued that the United States was fighting “Israel’s war” and accused Levin, Ben Shapiro, and others of “pushing” America into attacking Iran, Trump publicly came to Levin’s defense and criticized what he described as “jealous” detractors.
