Jimmy Kimmel Feels ‘Hormuzled’ by Trump’s New Deal With Iran

Key Points:

• President Trump claimed the U.S. peace deal with Iran should fully open the Strait of Hormuz, despite the deal not being publicly released and being only one page long, prompting skepticism and satire from late-night hosts.
• Comedians criticized the deal, highlighting that it resulted in little change: the ayatollah was replaced by a more radical leader, sanctions were lifted, a cease-fire was reinstated, and the Strait of Hormuz remained under Iranian control, all after significant U.S. expenditure and loss of life.
• Trump suggested continuing the war could have led to a U.S. depression, a claim met with irony given the country's current economic concerns.
• The war diverted public attention from other controversies involving Trump, such as the Trump/Epstein files, with hosts predicting renewed focus once the conflict ends.
• Separately, Boston bars and other venues reportedly ran out of beer due to an influx of Scottish soccer fans for the World Cup, leading to humorous commentary on the city's drinking culture.
