Washington Week

Trump’s evolving views on involvement in war with Iran

Season 2025 Episode 25 | 10m 05s

A week into the conflict between Israel and Iran, President Trump said he will delay a decision on whether the U.S. would enter the war. This comes as the president faces rare backlash from some Republicans over the prospect of U.S. involvement. The panel discusses the dynamics of Trump’s looming decision and what might come next.

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.
