Fox News host Mark Levin publicly criticized President Donald Trump’s newly announced Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, marking a significant disagreement between the conservative commentator and the president.

Levin focused much of his criticism on provisions he said would effectively shield Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant and political organization in Lebanon, from consequences under the agreement.According to Levin, the arrangement allows Hezbollah to remain operational despite its history of attacks against Americans and Israelis.

In a series of posts on X, Levin argued that the deal grants major concessions to Iran while providing insufficient safeguards against future threats.

He expressed concern about reported sanctions waivers and a proposed $300 billion development fund tied to Iran, claiming these measures would strengthen the Iranian regime economically and politically.Levin described these elements as dangerous concessions that could undermine long-term security interests.

The commentator also criticized the administration’s handling of the agreement’s release, questioning why the full text was not immediately made public when the memorandum was signed.He suggested that the rollout lacked transparency and contributed to confusion about the deal’s actual contents.

Levin stated that he found several aspects of the agreement difficult to understand and repeatedly emphasized his disbelief at what he viewed as excessive concessions.He ultimately argued that the memorandum should either undergo substantial revisions or be abandoned altogether.The criticism comes as some conservatives push back against Trump’s diplomatic effort to end hostilities with Iran.

Trump announced the agreement as part of a broader effort to extend a ceasefire involving Iran and Lebanon for 60 days, with a formal signing ceremony expected to take place in Geneva.
