CNN host Anderson Cooper criticised President Donald Trump's approach to the Iran war on "The Late Show". He questioned the administration's attempt to quickly resolve the issue with a quick deal to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions, stating that experts have told him that such agreements require months. This comment was not widely received, but was pointed out by comedian Stephen Colbert. Cooper also criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for appearing to pass off lines from "Pulp Fiction" as scripture.
