Information
------------------------------
First Aired: BBC Two June - July, 2009
Documentary series marking the 30th anniversary
of the Iranian Revolution.
3) Nuclear Confrontation
First Broadcast: 21 Feb 2009, 21:00 on BBC Two
In part three of this landmark series from Norma
Percy and the team that made the multi-award
winning documentaries The Death of Yugoslavia and
Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, contributors
including Iran's President Khatami tell the inside
story of the West's continuing nuclear
confrontation with Iran. The film also shows a
rare moment when they worked together.
US State Department insiders tell how, after
9/11, Iran played a key role in helping America to
topple the Taliban in Afghanistan - only for
President Bush to put Iran into his 'axis of evil'
immediately afterwards. Jack Straw, then foreign
secretary, and President Khatami describe how Iran
offered to help the US and its allies in their war
against Saddam Hussein - help that, given Iran's
powerful contacts in Iraq and the West's
subsequent difficulties there, might have made a
crucial difference.
Jack Straw, his successor Margaret Beckett, and
Joschka Fischer of Germany describe how they
struggled to find a compromise between Iran and
President Bush's hardliners over Iran's nuclear
programme. John Sawers, currently our man at the
UN, reveals an extraordinary secret deal that Iran
proposed a few years later.
