\u201cWeekend Update<\/a>\u201d host Colin Jost<\/a> took on President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s wild claim<\/a> that Iran doesn\u2019t \u201cseem to realize they have no cards\u201d other than what he called a \u201cshort term extortion of the World by using International Waterways.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThey\u2019re literally holding a strait,\u201d cracked Jost in a playful nod to both the poker hand and the Strait of Hormuz, the sea passage that\u2019s been effectively shut down by Iran in a move that\u2019s sparked global economic consequences. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
