Jon Stewart, the comedian and host of The Daily Show, criticised President Donald Trump's decision to attack Iran, calling it "Mess O'Potamia: America's Next Top Muddle" and "This Is Trump's Whole Presidency". Stewart also questioned the lack of congressional approval on the issue. He compared the right's intentions to that of a "peace through strength" president who would keep the US out of war. He also commented on the timing of the Iran strike and the name "Operation Epic Fury" and suggested that it was named after the Paul Brothers. The conflict has resulted in the death of many senior Iranian officials and significant infrastructure damage in Iran and four deaths in the U.S.
