WASHINGTON WEEK
Airs Friday, June 27, 2025 at 8PM on PBS (check local listings)
Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Mission Accomplished?
President Trump and key members of his administration are on offense this week, seeking to shape the Israel-Iran war narrative by claiming that U.S. airstrikes “obliterated” Tehran’s nuclear facilities, despite the leak of an initial intelligence report contradicting that assessment.
Meanwhile, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is also declaring victory after his country’s military attacked a U.S. base in Qatar.
Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more:
- Shane Harris, Staff Writer, The Atlantic
- David Ignatius, Columnist, The Washington Post
- Andrea Mitchell, Chief Washington and Foreign Affairs Correspondent, NBC News
- Ashley Parker, Staff Writer, The Atlantic
