A media therapy session with the stages of grief — particularly anger and denial — was in full swing among the war's biggest proponents after President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran Tuesday night.
The ceasefire calls for a halt in the attacks, Israel included, in exchange for Iran opening up the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traffic. In the course of the two weeks, according to Trump, the U.S. and Iran will negotiate Iran's 10-point plan which among the points would include all sanctions on Iran lifted, all U.S. forces in the region withdrawn, control of Hormuz left in Iran's hands, a commitment of future non-aggression by the U.S., a complete cessation of fighting in the Israel-Hezbollah war, and an agreement that Iran could continue to enrich uranium for its nuclear power program (though the Israelis are already insisting the enrichment issue will be on the table).
For a brief moment, nothing exploded, except of course, the heads of those most invested in seeing Iran entirely annihilated and given absolutely no quarter.
Radio show host Mark Levin was already on the air saying Iran had broken the deal within a few hours of it being announced. "Here we have a ceasefire that they have already broken," Levin charged, referring to Hezbollah. "The 2-week ceasefire is being violated right now by the Iranian-Nazi regime. Missiles are being fired into Israel and perhaps other countries in the region. Are they able to defend themselves?" ...
By the end of his show ..."If we're not gonna completely take [Iran] out — because of the huge isolationist strain in the Democratic Party [and] among the Woke Right…how are we going to keep them in a box?" he wailed on Fox News.
