Assassination, sabotage, cyberattacks - the undeclared war between Israel and Iran is one of the longest running conflicts in the region. As attempts to create a new deal to limit Iran's nuclear programme fail and Israel makes unprecedented alliances with its Arab neighbours, tensions are rising. Suzanne Kianpour talks to leading players in the region to find out how it all began and where it is heading.

Former Mossad director Tamir Pardo explains how he first developed Israel鈥檚 intelligence strategy on Iran; Mohammad Marandi, advisor to Iran鈥檚 nuclear negotiations team, discusses why Iran has escalated its nuclear programme and Frank McKenzie, retired US general, takes us inside the decision to assassinate Iran's top military leader.

Suzanne talks to former Israeli military intelligence chief General Amos Yadlin who bombed Iraq鈥檚 nuclear reactor as a young pilot, General David Petraeus, former director of the CIA, and leading Israeli intelligence journalist Ronen Bergman. And in two memorable meetings, actor Shaun Toub, star of the hit spy thriller Tehran, talks about the challenges of playing an Iranian intelligence officer, and Israeli-Iranian singer Hanna Jahanfarooz discusses the influence of her dual identity.
