1:54Now PlayingAs questions arise about whether the U.S.-Iran ceasefire will hold, Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg asked The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser whether the conflict will become “perpetual background noise” and whether it could become a threat to Republicans during the November midterms.
"For the previous 15 years, just the mere thought of the United States striking Iran, even in a single bout of airstrikes, was considered to be one of the major debates that engaged foreign policy over and over again," Glasser told Goldberg.
"And yet Donald Trump just sort of casually now goes back to war, and the world just sort of shrugs its shoulders to a certain extent."
