Ten to midnight: Iran's nuclear arms race

About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of Iran's nuclear arms race amidst claims from the United States and Israel.

According to United States and Israel, there's 460 kilograms of enriched uranium that Iran are just ten days away from turning into weapons grade nuclear bomb material. The story of Iran's nuclear arms race is less clear than they make it appear though. It's a tale of espionage, assassinations, and a high-stakes game of bluff.
