WASHINGTON – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spotted a Category 5 hurricane threatening the Iranian capital of Tehran late last evening, according to President Donald Trump.

“The great people of NOAA — they do really incredible work by the way, thank you Neil — have spotted what appears to be the largest, most spectacular hurricane anyone has ever seen,” Trump told reporters while Dr. Neil Jacobs, NOAA’s acting administrator, stood uncomfortably by the podium.

“This massive storm, it’s simply yuge,” Trump continued. “It started forming in the Caspian Sea, and has moved all the way down to Iran’s beautiful capital, Tehran. I asked Neil here — he’s great, everybody, let’s hear it for Neil — if there was anything we could do to prevent this storm from causing complete and total damage.”
