They use domestic security forces to terrorize their own citizens — and now we expect Iran to negotiate with them?” The studio audience seemed to miss Kimmel’s jab at both countries’ governments, which was initially met with a few chuckles and seconds of silence. “I — never mind,” said Kimmel, prompting heavier laughter from the audience. After Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, he warned in a Truth Social post on Wednesday that U.S. military resources needed for the “lethal prosecution and destruction” of the country were in place until a “REAL AGREEMENT” is met and complied with. Later in his monologue, Kimmel took on Fox News’ Lawrence B. Jones over his attempt to assess where the U.S. stands in the negotiations. The “Fox & Friends” host noted that Trump’s demands for Iran — for the country to dismantle major nuclear facilities, to stop uranium enrichment of its soil, to move enriched stockpiles out, to accept intrusive international inspections and to suspend its ballistic missiles program — haven’t happened. “You know, Lawrence, I think this is good news,” replied “Fox & Friends” co-host Griff Jenkins of the ceasefire after Jones’ list. Jenkins would later appear on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” to dismiss critics who have used the term “TACO” (or “Trump Always Chickens Out”) for the president. “Let me give you another acronym — NACHO. Never avoids confronting hard obstacles,” Jenkins said. Watch more of Kimmel’s Wednesday monologue. Colbert Agrees That Trump Met All Objectives.
