Conservative radio and Fox News host Mark Levin raved about President Donald Trump‘s decision to strike Iran and destroy their nuclear enrichment capacity.
Iran stopped negotiations with the United States over its nuclear program in recent weeks. Saturday’s bombs were preceded by strikes from Israel, also attempting to destroy their nuclear sites. Trump confirmed that the three sites were completely destroyed by Saturday night by six 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs and 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles.
“There’s no other military on the face of the earth that could do that, there’s not another commander-in-chief that has the guts to do what President Trump did,” Levin said on Fox News’s Hannity Saturday. “That is, this nation was never gonna fail under this commander in chief. This is historic. He is historic. The United States military is historic. This is a big d*** day. This is just like Reagan in front of the gate, ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.’ Well he said, ‘hey supreme Nazi tear down your nuclear program’ and he gave him nothing but disrespect.”
Levin was referencing President Ronald Reagan, who called on then-President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall. The wall was torn down two years after the speech, and reunited Berlin.
The targets included the Fordow fuel enrichment plant which was underground a mountain near the city of Qom. Nuclear experts reported to the Washington Examiner that the risk of an environmental hazard since the bombing was low.

Submarines shot the missiles at the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities. There were no American fatalities that resulted from the attack.
Since Israel launched strikes against Iran last week, Iran has reported over 400 deaths and Israel 24.
