Joe Rogan and Theo Von slam Trump on Iran in heated podcast rant

Joe Rogan and Theo Von have hit out at Donald Trump over the war with Iran, as public opinion on Operation Epic Fury sours.

The US and Israel launched an offensive against Iran on February 28, bombing multiple Iranian cities as well as hitting the country's energy infrastructure.

Iran has responded by launching missile attacks against several Middle Eastern countries, as well as blocking the Strait of Hormuz, through which oil from the Gulf states has to pass, making up 20 percent of world traffic.

Now, podcast hosts Joe Rogan and Theo Von, who both supported Trump in the 2024 election, have criticized the president over the war, which is becoming increasingly unpopular in the US.

Von appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, and the pair of them discussed Trump taking the US into another war in the Middle East, despite campaign promises to not involve the US in 'forever wars'.

Von asked: “What do you think is gonna happen? You think we’re gonna be OK?”

The discussion came after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the US about the war, the wider effects of which have seen oil prices rising globally, while some countries have even had to take extreme measures to reduce fuel consumption.

Rogan replied: “I hope so, of course. I don’t know. I’m confused. I can’t believe we went to this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like, ‘This can’t be true.’”

Iran is not the only nation which has been attacked either as Israel has launched attacks against its northern neighbour Lebanon, which has been plagued by political and economic crisis for years.

Asking about this, Von said: “And what about Lebanon?"

Israel has an antagonistic relationship with Lebanon, with Iran-backed paramilitary group and political party Hezbollah launching rocket attacks from southern Lebanon.

Israeli forces are now carrying out airstrikes across the country including the capital in Beirut, with critics saying that strikes have hit healthcare infrastructure including hospitals and ambulances.

The attacks by Israel have led to mass displacement in Lebanon, a country which already has a huge refugee population from displaced Palestinians and Syrians.

Israeli politicians have also indicated an intention to occupy Lebanese territory, suggesting the creation of a buffer zone and citing security concerns.

Von said: “And it’s like, just f***ing stop it. What do you need?”

Referring to Hezbollah, Rogan said: “Well, they’re trying to supposedly, they’re trying to stop the terrorists."

Von replied: “That’s crazy, though. You’re the f***ing terrorists! You know what I’m saying? Like, if you wanna stop them, f***ing stand in front of the f***ing mirror and start there.”
