Washington Week with The Atlantic

Iran war reality undercuts Trump's messaging

Season 2026 Episode 16 | 9m 19s

The Strait of Hormuz is more or less open for the moment, but the American blockade on Iranian shipping continues. Since the only sure thing in the Middle East is sudden and dramatic change, no one knows what next week will bring.

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.
