Washington Week with The Atlantic

U.S. plays the waiting game as Israel makes gains on Iran

Season 2025 Episode 25 | 14m 02s

Iran has seemingly suffered one loss after another in recent years. The country Iran’s leaders have sworn for 46 years to destroy, Israel, has decimated Hamas and largely dismantled Hezbollah and neutralized Iran's air defenses, bombing nuclear, military and infrastructure sites seemingly at will. But one thing Israel has failed to achieve is the destruction of the Fordow nuclear site.
