"I launched this attack after me and my Board of Peace decided that we were bored of peace. From there, SNL poked fun at the premise from some critics that the attack might have been part of a Wag the Dog effort from Trump. As we all know, Iran has been two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon for, like, the last 15 years or something, so we had to act now."
"Well, we had to strike in the early hours of Saturday, which has two advantages militarily. One, it's after the stock market closes for the weekend, and two, it's to cause immeasurable fear, rage, and chaos in the SNL writers' room. Those guys were going crazy!"
"As you probably heard, Operation Epic Fury is underway. And as you could tell from the veins in my neck, I'm pumped! Why'd we call it Epic Fury? Simple. Eight letters. Lines up perfectly for some bitchin' knuckle tats!"
Saturday Night Live featured a sketch criticizing President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over an attack on Iran. The sketch opened with Trump announcing the attack while joking about his peace credentials. SNL mocked the rationale behind the military action, suggesting it stemmed from boredom with peace and referencing long-standing claims about Iran's nuclear capabilities. The sketch also joked that the timing—early Saturday morning—was strategically chosen to close the stock market and create chaos in the SNL writers' room. Colin Jost portrayed Hegseth as an overly enthusiastic military figure, making jokes about tattoos and the operation's name. The sketch concluded with commentary on removing an oppressive leader.
