President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened large‑scale attacks against Iran and later retracted those statements. Recent remarks claimed a missile shortage and warned of “leakers” of treasonous statements, which Trump denied on Truth Social.

Late‑night host Jimmy Fallon mocked Trump’s age and the ongoing Iran conflict, joking about the president’s “leaks and shortages” and dubbing the closed Strait of Hormuz the “Spirit Halloween of Hormuz.” Fallon also referenced Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s alleged missile‑shortage comments.

The coverage highlights the political tension surrounding the Iran war and the public ridicule of Trump’s rhetoric.
