“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert agreed with President Donald Trump’s assessment that the United States had achieved all of its goals in the war on Iran. “...We have already met and exceeded all Military objectives,” Trump wrote in part on Truth Social following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire in the war, which is already on shaky grounds. “It’s true, this war reached all of its objectives,” Colbert said on Wednesday night. “It’s been weeks since anyone mentioned the Epstein files.” Colbert then discussed Trump’s previous comments about a potential deal with Iran, in which the president wrote: “There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” “And that’s exactly what he got – with just 10 conditions,” Colbert said. “The White House has not released the alleged 10 conditions yet, but Iranian state media have released what they claim are the 10 conditions. They include Iran’s continued control of the Strait of Hormuz, that the U.S. remove all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran and apparently accept that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program, which is everything they wanted before the war.” “So, it’s a real win-win, in that Iran won twice?” he added.
