"So let's talk about the war for a minute. Trump says, no Air Force. Iran has no Air force, no missiles, and no Navy. He says, there's nothing left to bomb. Yeah, we have nothing left a bomb. Apparently, they have something left to bomb, which is the Strait of Hormuz. I don't understand this. We have complete military superiority. We're bragging about that, except for the one place where we apparently need complete military superiority."
"I don't think it takes much effort to create an obstacle on a very narrow bottleneck there. So I think they don't have to have much firepower. They're going to need, if they're going accomplish something, it's going to be by bringing the regime down and getting some sort of compromise on that. It doesn't take much to fire cheap drones and menace ships so that they don't go through."
Bill Maher appeared on HBO's Real Time with guests including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, and former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. During the panel discussion, Maher expressed frustration about attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, questioning why complete U.S. military superiority could not prevent Iranian threats in this critical waterway. Blankfein noted that creating obstacles in the narrow strait requires minimal effort and firepower, suggesting Iran could use cheap drones to menace ships. Maher's criticism came one week after he had praised Trump's military approach and mocked critics, revealing inconsistency in his position on the conflict.
