"NOT a War on Iran", Yet Everyone Calls It a WAR Kimmel, Colbert & Meyers Roast MAGA's Confusion 🤣 - LateNight



Late night hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Michael Kosta react to the confusing messaging surrounding the conflict with Iran.

Is it a war? Is it a “strategic strike”? A “conflict”? A “defensive operation”?

In this compilation of the funniest monologue moments, late night comedians break down the contradictions coming from Washington as officials repeatedly insist the United States is not at war with Iran — while describing large-scale combat operations.

As one clip highlights, different officials offer completely different explanations:

“This isn’t a war.”

“This is combat operations.”

“This is war.”

Late night had plenty to say about the mixed messaging.
