Iran, Israel and the Bomb

This documentary examines the decades of clandestine conflict between Israel and Iran centered on the development of nuclear weapons. It details how Israel used cyberattacks, assassinations, and covert raids to hinder Tehran's nuclear ambitions, while Iran viewed uranium enrichment as a matter of national identity and regional power. The film explores the transition from this shadow war to open military confrontation, leading up to the joint strikes by the United States and Israel against Iranian nuclear sites in February 2026. Using immersive visuals and interviews with former officials from both nations, the narrative balances action with geopolitical analysis.

Directed by Miyuki Droz and Sylvain Lepetit, this is the second project in a chronological sequence of films by the duo, following Lebanon: Robbery of the Century (2024) and preceding Yémen, carrefour de toutes les guerres (2026). Produced in France by companies including France Télévisions and Al Jazeera Documentaries, the film features appearances by individuals such as Ehud Barak and Hossein Kanani Moghaddam. The production involved a credited cast of 24 people. Released on June 12, 2026, the documentary has a runtime of 54 minutes.
