Kimmel Mocks Vance's Iran Negotiation Preferrence

0:00On March 26th, Jimmy Kimmel landed a sharp jab at Vice President JD Vance on his late night show, Wednesday, March 25th. He highlighted reports that Iran prefers Vance to handle negotiations over other Trump administration figures. Kimmel quipped that this marks the first time anyone has wanted to deal with Vance. Iran turned down talks with Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkopf, Trump's Middle East envoy. Officials there see Vance as a better option amid rising tensions. Kimmel pointed out how low that sets the bar for the others. The audience burst into laughter at Kimmel's comparison of Vance to a minor annoyance versus something worse. He kept the punches coming, questioning just how ineffective Kushner and Whitkopf must be to get sideline for Vance. Tensions flared late February, after United States and Israeli airstrikes hit Iranian cities, killing Supreme Leader Ali Kamanay. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said, President Trump held productive talks with Iran over the past three days.
