Is the world more dangerous after the Iran war?

Season 2026 Episode 25 | 5m 35s

Iran appears to be significantly degraded as a military power, but its agreement with the U.S. could open new revenue streams for the regime. The panel discusses how North Korea or China could interpret the behavior of the United States and President Trump over the past three months.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
