Retaliation against infrastructure that would otherwise be protected under Geneva conventions is permitted in retaliation for other violations. Attacking shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is a war crime. Launching cluster missiles at civilian population centers is a war crime. Launching drone swarms at Dubai hotels is a war crime. Financing Hezbollah is a war crime. It is absolutely legal under the law of war to retaliate for Iran’s atrocities by targeting bridges and power plants. They were warned of what the red line was, and of what the consequence would be if they crossed them. Additionally, no foreign tribunal has jurisdiction over the actions of the US military. The only authority that can assess whether Americans committed “war crimes” are American courts.

This is a brazen pre-admission of genocide against the Iranian people, which would obviously be a war crime. Madness.

Today in Tampa, I signed HB 1471 to protect Floridians’ constitutional rights from the application of foreign and religious laws, including Sharia law. This legislation also establishes a framework to combat terrorist organizations and ensures greater accountability for our education system. Millions for education and public safety but not one cent for jihad!

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

We’re being told this country is broken beyond repair. And then this happens. An American Olympic gold medalist, bloodied and grinning, wrapped in the Stars and Stripes, after decades of waiting, sacrifice, and belief, reminding the world what it looks like when America rises again. 🇺🇸 Two kids on a quiet sidewalk, watching Artemis II tear through the sky, like history reaching forward and backward at once, reminding us we are still the nation that dares to go farther. 🚀 And an American Air Force colonel, shot down over enemy territory, alone in the mountains of Iran for 48 hours, hunted, wounded, waiting, And America came for him anyway. Through the dark. Through the risk. Through the fire. Because we don’t leave our own. Same year. Same country. Not spin. Not noise. This is real. They can keep selling division. They can keep feeding the noise. But this? This is different. This is who we are when it matters. Not perfect. Not polished. But still capable of courage. Still capable of wonder. Still capable of loyalty. The darkness is loud right now. But the light? The light doesn’t ask permission. It just shows up. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸❤️ HAPPY EASTER 💜
