Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro float delaying war with Iran until after the midterms
Conservative voices are openly pushing a plan to stall Iran now and resume military action after the US midterms — bad news for anyone hoping the ceasefire holds.
- Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro are both arguing the US should slow-walk Iran, build up oil reserves, get gas prices down, win the midterms, then strike.
- The thinking: Trump cares about a strong economy and low gas prices before the election, so the real fight gets pushed to after November.
- Trump himself is hinting he'll go "back to bombing" Iran if it breaks the loose understanding the two sides reached.
- A bigger worry is Israel — facing its own elections, Netanyahu may not wait, and could spark a large war in Lebanon or stage a false-flag attack to pull the US back in.
- There's even open talk of Israel being the country most likely to use a nuclear weapon if it feels seriously threatened.
Outlook: Expect rising pressure to restart the conflict, with the danger that Israel acts before the US midterms rather than waiting.
