Iran, the race against the bomb

Will the Islamic Republic of Iran succeed in arming itself with a nuclear bomb? Or will the western powers manage to thwart the ambitions of Mahmud Ahmadinejad’s regime? For the past fifteen or so years secret networks have been active in helping Iran produce a nuclear weapon. They have set up systems in Pakistan and Switzerland for delivering the necessary materials to Iran. The intelligence services in the United States and Israel have been doing all they can to sidetrack the project: moles, scientist assassinations, sabotaging the production sites, etc. The fight against the Mullahs is merciless. This documentary goes behind in the scenes of this shadowy war. Some of the players in this geopolitical thriller tell us about the low blows and the feats of arms.
