Overview
- Jimmy Kimmel used his opening monologue to lampoon reports that the White House is close to an Iran agreement as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, a chokepoint that carries a large share of global oil shipments.
- He said the deal’s terms are still in flux and joked that Trump treats negotiation like sex, calling him clumsy and quick to declare he is done.
- Kimmel singled out a reported uranium enrichment moratorium of more than 10 years and contrasted it with the Obama-era nuclear limits that lasted up to 15 years.
- He criticized officials for avoiding the word war, arguing that softer labels help sidestep the congressional approval usually required for major military action.
- TheWrap published the full segment, amplifying Kimmel’s skepticism as coverage continues to note that the reported Iran deal remains unconfirmed.
