Jon Stewart references Donald Trump's past claim from June that Israel and the United States first bombed Iran's nuclear program.
AI Fact-Check
“This claim is based on a fictional narrative. The Daily Show episode is set in a hypothetical future (March 2026) where a war with Iran has already occurred. While reports within this fictional timeline describe US and Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in June 2025, these events have not happened in reality. Real-world historical records do not show an overt bombing of Iran's nuclear program by either the United States or Israel. Context: The claim is part of a satirical segment from The Daily Show that is set in the future. The entire premise, including the war with Iran and Trump's statements about it, is fictional and presented for comedic and critical purposes.”
