Conservative radio host Mark Levin claimed Wednesday that the Iranian regime may have targeted him with a cyberattack. The claim came a day after he was widely mocked for complaining that he’d been locked out of his AOL email account.“My wife and I were warned yesterday by the appropriate federal agency that we might be targeted by the Iranian regime. Specifically, by a possible cyber attack,” Levin wrote on X. “Well, that appears to have occurred.”Levin did not name the agency, say what had been targeted, or say whether the incident was connected to his email trouble.“That said, my brilliant staff is working around it,” he wrote. “And this ‘boomer’ will not be intimidated or silenced, to the great chagrin of the Woke Reich neo-fascists.”Levin opened the post with a shot at Tucker Carlson, a fellow conservative media figure and frequent critic of Levin’s push for war with Iran. “We all know the Iranian regime is a great fan of Tucker Carlson’s America-hating videos, which air from time to time on their government run propaganda platforms,” Levin wrote. “In my case, the Iranian regime has a different approach.”He signed off with “Thank you for your attention to this matter,” a phrase Trump often uses to end his Truth Social posts.On Tuesday, Levin said he had spent “literally the entire day” trying to get AOL to unlock his email, calling himself “one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL.” Critics across the political spectrum piled on. Some joked about dial-up connections and fax machines, and others tied his influence to Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran.
