Spanning more than seven decades, Iran: The Making of War examines how one of the most consequential conflicts of the modern era came to be. Beginning with the CIA-led coup in 1953 that led to the removal of Mohammad Mosaddegh, the film traces the transformation of Iran from a Western-aligned monarchy under Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to the Iranian revolution led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. As relations with the United States collapse after the Iranian hostage crisis, a parallel rivalry intensifies with Israel. Through the decades that follow, a conflict defined by proxy wars, covert operations and disputes over Iran’s perceived nuclear ambitions emerges. Iran: The Making of a War explores how these tensions escalated into direct confrontation - and the serious and dangerous regional and global implications. Using archive material, expert analysis and accounts from various perspectives, the documentary presents a measured, chronological examination of competing strategies and fears
