Jon Stewart analyses Trumps Iran war announcement

Jon Stewart analyses Trumps Iran war announcement

Jon Stewart has broken down Trump's announcement of "major combat operations" in Iran.

A man in a suit sits behind a talk show desk. The caption at the bottom reads,

The US has launched "major combat operations" in Iran, with Trump taking to the podium to make the announcement while wearing a "U.S." baseball cap.

Speaking on The Daily Show on Monday, Jon Stewart made it clear that it wasn't quite the "solemn" opportunity to "reassure an anxious nation" that he was expecting.

"This is how we're doing this?" asks Stewart in the clip above. "2am, Mar-A-Lago basement, no lighting? You don't even have one of those influencer halo things? You just f***ing go down to the basement? And this is what we're wearing? Blazer, no tie, shirt unbuttoned? Looking more like the father of the bride settling up with the caterer?"
