The state of Iran’s nuclear program after U.S. airstrikes

Season 2025 Episode 26 | 19m 45s

President Donald Trump claims the U.S. and Israel have obliterated Iran’s nuclear program. Other analysts say Iran’s facilities are seriously damaged, but that it’s premature and counterproductive to claim total victory. The panel discusses the current state of affairs after last weekend’s strikes by the U.S. military.

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.
