01 · THE DISPATCH

Mark Levin, a prominent conservative commentator and close associate of President Donald Trump, wrote on Telegram that a second wave of strikes against Iran is currently underway. The statement came as a message forwarded by the channel 'The Arab World' (301), attributed to Levin. He expressed full agreement with the attacks and questioned why Israel's response 48 hours ago to 11 ballistic missiles fired at its territory drew such sharp international criticism. Levin's intervention is notable as a signal of continued support within Trump's inner circle for military action against Iran, despite earlier reports that Trump had urged restraint on Prime Minister Netanyahu following the Israeli strike in Beirut on June 8. As The Zioneer reported on June 8, Trump stated that the Beirut strike was not coordinated with the US and planned to call Netanyahu to advise against retaliation on Iran. However, by June 10, Trump had shifted to a more hawkish posture, stating 'hit Iran hard,' according to a prior bulletin. The second round of US strikes appears to represent an escalation beyond the initial wave reported on June 9, which targeted Iranian air defenses and radar systems. The claim of a current attack remains unverified by independent sources.
