This is like vice from the old days . No sensationalism , no hipster editorial.....pure behind the lines non partisan journalism .great work guys please keep these stories coming
It's pro Iranian propaganda dude. Anything critical of Iran doesn't make it out of Iran. Im sorry for being the bearer of bad tidings, but a country that yells Death to other nations before breakfast, isn't going to have a nuclear weapon, not now, not ever. Give it up and the sanctions will disappear and prosperity will come. This was indeed an assassination, of someone making it possible for crazy people to kill millions of other people. No collateral damage, just the bomb maker and their henchmen. A good day for humanity no matter what this scientists race, religion or philosophy was. It'd be like handing a room of toddlers a box of razor blades and expecting them to be careful. Just to add, I'll bet the Saudis were hunky dory with this assassination.
@A how is this a regime propaganda video? So by ur standard, every news produced by an American news outlet can be classified as ‘American propaganda’ cuz they all portray Iran as a total devil.

well this totally sucks , both Iran the the US and the Iraqi and Arab Shia militia groups and others in the region should work together rather than work against each other , Biden should work on improving relations with Iran , I think good relations between Iran and the US would be a good thing . There is a lot of areas where Iran and the US can cooperate , Iran is one of the biggest Muslim majority countries in the world while the US has one of the largest Muslim populations in North America , so there is a lot the countries have in common and they should deescalate .

Not that complicated, Iran want to be in control of the region so the send their militia to Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen and you can see clearly that any country that Iran involved with turned to failed states. There four major player in the region Saudi Arabia, Iran, turkey and Israel. Israel have the ultimate support from the west so they are attacking sites inside Iran and Syria.

This is what the original Vice documentaries were like before their partnership with HBO (which has now ended). Please keep making these type of documentaries, they are great!
Vice could start a revolution if they tried hard enough. Seriously. The next big revolution NEEDS to happen soon... but it has to be Out of the Box. Like millions going off the grid living off the land, to starve out all the corrupt assholes at the top that own everything. Unplug from the game until they have so little that they're Weak. Then, we jump back in the game with strategy... You dont just keep going along playing a game when the other people are cheating...you unplug that damn controller and find a different game until they stop or die off...

@@RonnieRawdawg you just need someone who can blend in. I'm Hispanic but when I travelled to Iran everyone thought I was a local until I told them where I was from.
@aki hiko Not necessarily true. Iran's influence in Iraq runs deeper than you're led to believe. One can look at the incompetence the US army and the corruption of the Iraqi government. You can literally already see their people really do not like us, especially when we blew up the guy who was the most effective fighter against ISIS in Iraq. They have memorials for Soleimani everywhere in Iraq. Do they have any for Trump, or any US Army general?
@@f-86zoomer37 lol Iran's "influence"...you mean Iran's occupation and infiltration of Iraq....Do you honestly believe Iran that single handedly props up Islamist groups like Hezbollah, Hamas etc had no hand in the creation of ISIS in Iraq, literally their neighboring backyard!!?....Iranians haven't forgotten the years of bloody war that Iran waged on Iraq...Iranian occupiers are seen by Iraqi's today as more of a threat than the white American who can be spotted easily and will eventually leave the country, just as they did in Obama years...but Iranian occupiers are here to stay and are illegally propping up memorials of terrorists like Soleimani, whose portraits were torn down even inside Iran itself after Iranian Islamist guards shot down Iranian plane and denied the killing of hundreds of passengers on board for days..
@@ameyas7726 The US armed and supplied ISIS with weapons before they turned on us. Just take a look at ISIS convoys. Why do they own American Abrams tanks and humvees? Why are they using American TOW missiles to blow up Syrian T-72 tanks and using US-made MANPADS systems to shoot down Russian jets and helos?
It is and seems to be more when the past was influencing individuals to become more… individual. Watch videos of Iran in the 70s. Their people had a chance and it was all taken away.
it is indeed. I visited last month. Was there for couple of weeks. Tehran, Qom Mashhad, Shiraz, persepolis, Isfahan. All amazing places. One side effect of all these sanctions is that it is still genuine and untouched by mass tourism.
Yup thats our beautiful government forya. No justification for anything they do, literally 0 accountability. They dont have to stand for ANYTHING, they do ANYTHING they want to do, and no one does a goddamn thing about it.... This cant go on forever. Eventually people in society either have to reach a tipping point and revolt, OR, just become their bitches willingly and be totally controlled willingly.. which is pretty much already happening.. sheep to the slaughter...
I don't know, this seems kind of biased. Watch from 1:33. Iran was "distraught" because a plane "was shot down" over their capitol. From Wikipedia: On 8 January 2020, the Boeing 737-800 operating the route was shot down shortly after takeoff from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). All 176 passengers and crew were killed. I bet they were distraught when they killed 176 innocent people....

It can be quite challenging to fully comprehend the various influences and factors at play in the Middle East, contributing to all the difficulties, disputes, and confrontations. To truly grasp the value and information provided by this documentary, one definitely must delve deeper, gather more information, and then revisit it with an enriched understanding, and only then can one form a well-founded opinion on the situation as a whole.
@@steveoh2395brother you have the richest countries around the world using the Middle East as a proxy battleground, mixed in with their own beliefs and systems. It’s acc is that complex, it’s not gonna be one answer to solve the problem.
That is not true the Iraqi government is boycutting Iran's money there because of the USA sanctions those soldiers in the Iraqi who are fighting against ISIS are resistance fighters
Iraq had always been a part of the greater Iran. Bagdad means in old Persian "God given". The west has separeted/colonized all these countries around Iran from them.
I served in Iraq in late 2005 as a Marine right when the Iranian’s starting making moves in Iraq. I will never forget what our CO told us during the end of a long debrief in the Green Zone about the Iranians/Persians. He said “Never underestimate the same people who invented chess.” Almost 20 years later and those words still send chills down mine spine to this day.
@@joydevsarkar4474 Not really, the prototype version of chess was founded in India, but it was Persia who set up it's rules and spread the game throughout the world, same goes for backgammon, during the rule of Khosrow I in the Sassanid empire, also known as the immortal soul.
After he mentioned that he was 10 1/2 hours from Tehran, but still in Iran, I looked up how big Iran is. It's about 1.65 million square kilometers. By comparison, Alaska is about 1.72 million square kilometers. Iran is huge.

I’ve said it to others before, Vice has the some of the stupidest stories on Snapchat, website, etc, but the large majority of their youtube videos are always great. Extremely good at delivering information in a manner easy to understand and intriguing enough to bring viewers to subjects they may not care about.
These stories cost millions upon millions of dollars and require a lot of connections and care to get made. These are where their budget goes for the most part and it shows in their length. Entertainment pieces pay the bill so that these can be made. Even at Vices size this level of journalism its extremely expensive and dangerous due to the repercussions abroad and at home for those involved.
The naivety of you westerners are ridiculous and lamentable at the same time 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ Bad news is , it's the exact thing that dictaorial goverments ( in this case islamic regime ) - at times even so viciously - prey upon to abuse and take advantage of . Good news is , i guess there is a hope that with the help of internet this form of cluelessness will diminish if not outright eliminated . ( of courese the prerquisite for this is , islamic regime won't completely censor the internet , something which khamenei is so enthusiastic to do in the near future ; and if you don't know him either , he is the supreme leader and yes he is an avid fan of North Korea ofcourse ) Everyone who lives in islamic regime knows this is one of the most commen/preconstructed phrases that goverment officials say roboticllay when asked questions like this one in this occasion . And as you can see in the middle of this video the journalist guy ( after got out of islamic regime ) said there were SIX people from SIX intelligence agencies ( let that sink in ) who followed him evereywhere he went . Certainly that could help ( that guy ) to answer even more carefully . And please use the islamic regime instead of Iran as much as you can , they're not Iranians . They don't see themselves as Iranians they would tell it to you themselves ( at least it's not among the first things that with which they would have an affinity/sympathy ) , and people of Iran don't see them neither . Unlike the credulous interviewer like in this video who after went just to the predetermined locations with onlookers watching his every move and then made - in his view - an " unskewd " opinion about this place ; people in Iran know they're just shia ISIS vs the sunni one .
that was taken out of context. they are obviously entering a country to document sensitive information its not that crazy i bet u my life if middle easterners were to try to enter usa to film about their politics much worse would happen.
After watching this documentary I would say one thing for sure Irani and Iraqis are extremely difficult to beat. You might kill their team mates but they come out stronger and stronger.

@@mariyabiswas3391 You have listed empires that each lasted a whopping 2 minutes before collapsing. Their local presences died out immediately. Iran's remains.
@@mariyabiswas3391 U didnt get my comment. In any way, shape or form Iran overcame the conquerors culturally. When Macedonians came, they took over Persian customs. Same happened with Arabs and Mongols. But i was referring to how Iran and the people stayed relevant throughout history. In the middle ages u had the Safavids, now u have the Ayatollahids having influences(indirect control) over Iraq, parts of Lebanon, Yemen(via Houthis) and also Bahrain(people there supports Iran).
@@mariyabiswas3391 If Persians were not so lucky, they would be now close to extinct like the modernday Assyrians without any country etc, ruled by others as minority. Look at Mongolia, once a feared empire. Since the collapse of their great state, they are almost invisible. Personally i think Allah did the Persians/Iranians a favor by how well they treated Bani Israel(Muslims of those days) back then. Maybe that favor is to survive through centuries?
@@sali3492 I don't know about that... Iran's height was before Islam when the Persian empire was there. At that point it was probably one of the best places in the world to live compared to how violent and barbaric most places were.

Great video. Not enough coverage on this - just the actual events and some history rather than the usual media points of talking only about a present flare up/issue without giving historical context
Funny thing is that the US and Iran are actually aligned when it comes to many issues in the middle east. Most regular Americans have no issues with Iran, and do not approve of sanctions in general. There would probably be more cooperation if "death to America" wasn't said nearly every single day in Iran. However, I can understand their frustration. A lot of Americans are starting to realize that both Iran and Israel are fuc*ed up in their own way. Iran arguably the lesser of the two evils... However Iran can't go crushing Israel either, and Israel is a tiny nation compared to Iran, so Israel needs more help. They both need to coexist somehow, these proxy wars are getting old, to say the least. Just as Isralies need to coexist with Palestinians and stop fu*king bombing them and imprisoning them in open air prisons... Iran needs to coexist with Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
America can't afford to go to war with Iran, China would love to see the US neck deep in yet another conflict in the Middle East being side tracked and blowing more printed fiat on an unwinnable war.

Yes because the US is a nation that won't use those nuclear weapons unless attacked.

Having a rogue state like Iran or North Korea with Nukes is very different from having a nation like the US that will never use them except to retaliate.

well this totally sucks , both Iran the the US and the Iraqi and Arab Shia militia groups and others in the region should work together rather than work against each other , Biden should work on improving relations with Iran , I think good relations between Iran and the US would be a good thing . There is a lot of areas where Iran and the US can cooperate , Iran is one of the biggest Muslim majority countries in the world while the US has one of the largest Muslim populations in North America , so there is a lot the countries have in common and they should deescalate .

Good news is , i guess there is a hope that with the help of internet this form of cluelessness will diminish if not outright eliminated . ( of courese the prerquisite for this is , islamic regime won't completely censor the internet , something which khamenei is so enthusiastic to do in the near future ; and if you don't know him either , he is the supreme leader and yes he is an avid fan of North Korea ofcourse )
Everyone who lives in islamic regime knows this is one of the most commen/preconstructed phrases that goverment officials say roboticllay when asked questions like this one in this occasion . And as you can see in the middle of this video the journalist guy ( after got out of islamic regime ) said there were SIX people from SIX intelligence agencies ( let that sink in ) who followed him evereywhere he went .
Certainly that could help ( that guy ) to answer even more carefully .
And please use the islamic regime instead of Iran as much as you can , they're not Iranians .
They don't see themselves as Iranians they would tell it to you themselves ( at least it's not among the first things that with which they would have an affinity/sympathy ) , and people of Iran don't see them neither .

Iran is the biggesr threat after isis.
Funny thing is that the US and Iran are actually aligned when it comes to many issues in the middle east.
Most regular Americans have no issues with Iran, and do not approve of sanctions in general.
There would probably be more cooperation if "death to America" wasn't said nearly every single day in Iran. However, I can understand their frustration.
A lot of Americans are starting to realize that both Iran and Israel are fuc*ed up in their own way. Iran arguably the lesser of the two evils... However Iran can't go crushing Israel either, and Israel is a tiny nation compared to Iran, so Israel needs more help. They both need to coexist somehow, these proxy wars are getting old, to say the least.
Just as Isralies need to coexist with Palestinians and stop fu*king bombing them and imprisoning them in open air prisons... Iran needs to coexist with Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
America can't afford to go to war with Iran, China would love to see the US neck deep in yet another conflict in the Middle East being side tracked and blowing more printed fiat on an unwinnable war.

As Farsi speaker I can confirm this documentary doesn't show the two sides of story COMPLETELY
Here is why
16:37
If you look at it you notice that this was censored
['' One reason for this was that It was clear for us that (Americans.....................)''] this part(Americans) wasn't translated and also they cut the next part, His sentence was not copelete they CENSORED,
“We’ve captured a suicide bomber sir! What should we do with him?”
“Hmm, let’s execute him.”
“Sir, isn’t that just sort of a win-win for him?”
Wow good point!
if they wanna die at least make it a dishonorable death. Knowing they failed the only thing their life meant to their cause is an extremely shameful way to die.
pretty sure getting executed there is not gonna be fast they prob dont hang suicide bombers they probably lapidate them which hurts a lot and takes more time
No it's not a win-win 😑 because he will not bomb innocent civilians while being executed
We should give them a life sentence and make them live a long painful life instead
Sending respect from egypt to the people of Iran it was happening to our scientists before you as well israel doesn't want us to be a successful nations they make sure we don't get to the top
This whole video is bullshit propaganda, I absolutely condemn any type of effort for spreading terror including the assassination of civilians whether scientists or other society classes but all people interviewed in this documentary are representatives and distributors of the regime's propaganda and there is enormous amounts of false facts stated in this piece of 40 minutes report

True. Still not wrong, they are both trying to build their empires.

well this totally sucks , both Iran the the US and the Iraqi and Arab Shia militia groups and others in the region should work together rather than work against each other , Biden should work on improving relations with Iran , I think good relations between Iran and the US would be a good thing . There is a lot of areas where Iran and the US can cooperate , Iran is one of the biggest Muslim majority countries in the world while the US has one of the largest Muslim populations in North America , so there is a lot the countries have in common and they should deescalate

I thought that the documentary done by Isobel in Yemen was the best thing to happen in war journalism ever, no documentary about middle east can come closer, and yet here we are, another insight on Iran and its proxies, the best work I have ever seen
nearly all of isobel's work is top notch. my personal favorite is her report on xinjiang
Iran is beautiful dude. Look at those mountains.
Edit: well this turned into a shitshow. I’m just commenting on the geography of Iran being beautiful. Who knew mountain ranges were politically adverse.
It is. Too bad it's ruled by religious zealots ...
The US is the biggest destabilizing force in the middle east. Saddam came to power because of the US and the US gave him chemical weapons to gas Kurds and Iranians, and then the US used those as an excuse to attack Iraq and destabilize the entire region again. The Iranian revolution too was a result of years of Western interference and theft of resources in Iran.
@@remeshfernandez9684 there was a democratic vote on whether Iran should be secular or Islamic republic. People voted for Islamic republic that's why it's a Islamic republic

@@judaschavez7529 your Mexican and Venezuelan brothers and sister would be first ones
Yes because the US is a nation that won't use those nuclear weapons unless attacked. If Iran gets their hands on them... that is a much bigger risk of a nuclear war because they support terrorists and are likely to try and find a way to send Nuclear weapons to one of those terrorists groups so they can attack the US or Israel. Iran hasn't exactly been shy about their intent to nuke Israel. Having a rogue state like Iran or North Korea with Nukes is very different from having a nation like the US that will never use them except to retaliate.
Glad good vice documentaries are back!
I wish they could’ve enjoyed the cake at least
This comment deserves way more upvotes ...
Right? Although I'm 95% sure that the so called ISIS member was just an Iranian intelligence officer. He mentioned several times about how he planned to "cause chaos in Iran" and "Destroy Iran" in a way that vilified his organization. Not exactly how zealot would be speaking about the organization he joined to attack his own nation.
@@dahasolomon7314 You would be surprised what jail can do to a person mentally. He's had alot of time to think about his actions and he wasn't lying, ISIS literally wanted to completely annihilate Iran. That was one of their main goals.

@@dahasolomon7314 in most cases, Id agree with you, but if youve ever watched interviews with ISIS folks, that is exactly how they talk. Its all "create chaos, destroy false muslims and wipe out countries"

We often forget, from the limited vantage point that living in the states gives us, that there are 2 sides to every conflict. One is not necessarily right or wrong.
That’s because our media is controlled by Israel bro…
yeah sadly the world isnt black or white, is more of a grey
@@derekweavify I wholeheartedly agree, hence the statement I made above. Every group has a right to preside over their lands. A wealthy, corrupt power like the US cannot just sweep in and try to take advantage. Although this is what we are meant to think as citizens of this country. No side is right necessarily (there were some injustices on the other side as well) but one side had no business being involved.

The fact is that Iran has reached the end of quantum science and with the same science has saved RQ170. Otherwise, Iran has been building atoms for a long time and is riding a meteorite rocket.
This is one of the globally most important things you've created vice..
The US calling Iran out on imperialism is the biggest joke I have heard today. Phenomenal content from vice, keep it up.
"Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad."
Iran is the imperialism - not the US with 800 military bases around the world.

@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 This is about controlling the price of the dollar. What controls the price of the dollar? It’s the crude oil. Guess who has the most reserves of oil in the world and third exporter? Iraq. And Iran is the second on the list. This is not about the people or cooperating to achieve the same goal or fight a common enemy. Us as Iraqis know it’s a dirty game to control energy resources. It started with a lie about Iraq having WMD and now this. We don’t have to choose between the 2. As for Iran they see US as main enemy and believe is Islam sharia government laws unlike Iraq laws which are completely sectarian. The west better spends its resources to make strong Iraq instead of spending it to fight Iran. Iran is strong because they’re Shia but iraq is the home of shiaa, once a strong country Iran will be nothing. Just like the saddam days
Strong Iraq = Weaker Iran
But that also to means Iraq will rise again, something America doesn’t want. US simply made a mess over a lie and left. Unlike Afghanistan, a fatwa from Sayed Sistani and Iran help we managed to keep our country together and build our army to be stronger.
