Washington Week with The Atlantic

Trump's Iran war address leaves questions unanswered

Season 2026 Episode 14 | 16m 10s

President Trump addressed the nation this week with what he framed as a progress report on the Iran war. He said action in the Middle East was necessary, the world is safer because of it and the American economy will be just fine. But in reality, there were more questions than answers after Trump's 20-minute address.
