The Trump administration is going after a late-night comedian again.

And the United Arab Emirates is handing in its OPEC membership card.

Plus, there isn't internet in Iran right now.

And during wartime, that's especially dangerous.

I'm Marc Filippino, and here's the news you need to start your day.

U.S.

federal regulators have launched a probe into all Disney-owned television stations.

They're looking for violations of rules, including, quote, unlawful discrimination.

The Federal Communications Commission announced this yesterday, and it's a significant move against a network that's come down on the wrong side of U.S.

President Donald Trump.

The review comes as a nationwide debate simmers over political violence and freedom of speech, and as the president and his allies call for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired.

The late-night comedian made this joke on ABC, which is owned by Disney, about First Lady Melania Trump.

Now, this was part of a skit about the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and it aired a few days before the shooting at that dinner that the Trumps attended.

On Monday night, Kimmel defended his joke as satire.

This isn't the first time Trump and Kimmel have gone head-to-head.

Last year, Kimmel made comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

It got him temporarily taken off the air, a move that Trump applauded.

In response to the FCC probe, Disney said its stations have a long record of operating in full compliance with regulatory rules.

The United Arab Emirates is calling it quits on OPEC.

The UAE said on Tuesday it'll leave the oil cartel after almost 60 years of membership.
