Last night on Washington Week With The Atlantic, panelists joined to discuss the signing of an agreement between the United States and Iran, and what Donald Trump’s deal with the regime may mean for other countries.

“The international community is looking at what happened not only in Iran but in Ukraine, and seeing that this idea of large powers coming in and definitively defeating other weaker nations is not necessarily the case anymore,” Nancy Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic argued last night.

What this may mean going forward is that militaries across the world, including the U.S., will look at their technological, drone, and AI capabilities to “figure out what advances they need to make given this rapid moving and changing battlefield dynamic,” she said.

Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Jonathan Karl, a chief Washington correspondent at ABC News; Karim Sadjadpour, a contributing writer at The Atlantic and a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; David Sanger, a White House and national-security correspondent at The New York Times; and Youssef.
