Washington Week with The Atlantic full episode, 3/27/26

Season 2026 Episode 13 | 26m 46s

President Trump has been inconsistent in telling us what he believes the purpose and goals of the Iran war are. All wars are covered in a fog of misinterpretation and uncertainty. This one, even more. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Peter Baker of The New York Times, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker, David Ignatius of The Washington Post and Missy Ryan of The Atlantic to discuss this and more.

Aired: 03/26/26
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.
