“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon mocked President Donald Trump’s new laid-back approach to the war against Iran.

“Trump has now backed off his threats to launch more strikes,” Fallon said on Monday’s show. “He says that his new approach is ‘low-keying it.’ We’ve gone from Operation Epic Fury to Operation Chillax Bruh.”

In actuality, there is nothing chillaxing about the situation in Iran. Trump is reportedly so desperate for a way out that he privately told senior aides that he might ditch his primary stated objective ― a deal with Iran to eliminate its combat-nuke capability ― to declare victory if and when the Strait of Hormuz is fully opened. (It already was open when Trump and Israel started the war back in February.)

The hesitation to resume attacks might also stem from a reported missile shortage that is weakening Trump’s bargaining leverage.
