Mark Levin Warns: The Deadly Dangers of Iran for U.S.
Cruz intensifies dispute with former Iranian official at Princeton University: "You should be removed from the country"
Strong-minded radio host Mark Levin spills his insights on Iran's imminent nuclear program and ongoing discussions with the United States on his program, "Life, Liberty & Levin."
In a heated war of words, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz blasted a former Iranian regime official, previously counseling students at Princeton University, who was claimed to make Jewish students uneasy amid global tensions.
"I prefer not to share space with individuals linked to Iranian terrorists who have executed numerous dissidents," Cruz wrote in a fiery tweet in response to a lengthy post from former Iranian Ambassador to Germany Seyed Hossein Mousavian on Twitter-like platform, X.
"Your works are unbearable, and the only argument you should engage in is with immigration authorities, resulting in your deportation," Cruz wisecracked.
Mousavian's reaction came after a Digital article by our website, in which Cruz demanded Princeton to relieve Mousavian of his role as a Middle East security and nuclear policy expert. Mousavian had been a representative for Iran during nuclear negotiations in the early 2000s.

Mousavian dared Cruz to go toe-to-toe in a public debate so the American people could assess the facts themselves.
"If you shun this offer, I plead with you to read some of the books and articles I've authored over my 15-year academic career at Princeton University," he penned.
"You'll find that all of them advocate for peace between Iran and the United States, propose non-aggressive solutions to Iran's nuclear crisis as per NPT, prevent another disastrous U.S. conflict in the Middle East, foster tranquility and stability in the Persian Gulf, and strive for a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction."

The one-time Tehran official disclosed in his response that he had been captured by Iran in 2007 and expelled from his homeland in 2009.
Digital reached out to Cruz, Mousavian, and Princeton University for comment.
Cruz discussed his opinion on the matter further on the podcast "Verdict," expressing fears about Mousavian's influence on students and Jewish students' safety.
Mousavian previously expressed sympathy for Hamas and Hezbollah and attended the funeral of terrorist Qassem Soleimani, who was eliminated in an attack commanded during Donald Trump's tenure as President.

In 2023, several senior Republicans, including House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky and now-DOGE chairman Aaron Bean of Florida, wrote to Princeton with their worries regarding Mousavian's service.
The letter emphasized that Mousavian had been Berlin's ambassador during a time when "a German court judged [it] as the hub for planning the 1992 assassination of four Iranian dissidents at a Greek restaurant in the capital."
"Did Princeton consult with U.S. government officials before hiring Mousavian?” they questioned.
