It hasn’t escaped the attention of the late night hosts that Donald Trump’s Iran war strategy doesn’t seem to be going as planned.
Jon Stewart spent 22 minutes unpacking the president’s supposed “4D chess” on the Daily Show, and Stephen Colbert makes similar comments in the Late Show clip above.
“On Thursday Israel and Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire, so on Friday Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz — and yes, it was already open before we started the war, but I believe the real Strait of Hormuz was the friends we made along the way. I’m sorry, what’s that? And I’m being told that we made no friends,” Colbert says.
“Trump immediately claimed victory, posting, ‘Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.’ And they never did — until the next day, when Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again.”
