On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, the media is pushing certain individuals as "MAGA influencers" who are troubled by President Trump and the Iranian war effort, despite polls showing 92% MAGA support. The left-wing, pro-Democrat, anti-Trump media amplifies these miscreants because they are stabbing Trump in the back and besmirching him. The media ignores overwhelming MAGA support and cobbles together this narrative using unknowns to undermine Trump, while countless genuine backers with real influence are omitted. In breaking news, Trump announces that he has agreed to suspend the bombing and attack on Iran for two weeks. Iran responded and accepted the proposal and agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz via coordination with Iranian armed forces. But this 2-week ceasefire has already been violated by Iran. Missiles are being fired into Israel and perhaps other countries in the region. Are they able to defend themselves? We have the right man as president, and he's probably furious about this. But this will be the question throughout -- that is, do we expect the Iranian regime to honor a deal, how will we monitor it, and how will we enforce it. These will all be very difficult issues to resolve. Later, Dr. Brian Cox, a retired US Army military lawyer and Cornell Law adjunct, calls in and directly rebuts claims that the Israel-US strikes on Iran are illegal war crimes. A war crime requires the intent to intentionally direct an attack against a civilian person (not taking direct part in hostilities) or a civilian object. Most public evaluations wrongly overlook this need for clear evidence of intent by the attacker. For example, a recent attack on Iran's B1 bridge was widely called a war crime, but it does not qualify because the bridge served a dual purpose with military utility, making it a legitimate military objective rather than a purely civilian target.
