- Back in March we sent a crew, including VICE Founder Suroosh Alvi, to Iran. We wanted to do a story about a rash of assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists - most recently Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, head of the country’s nuclear program. We ended up getting unprecedented access, from Tehran to Baghdad, into the sprawling shadow war between the US and Iran for the heart of the Middle East.

Much better than “I eat Mac n cheese 24/7” documentaries..will start watching VICE again now
I will not unless they eat Mac n cheese in Iran
Nowaday, they have to make these kind of ridicolous content to make money, in order to then be able to produce more serious stuff like this video. its the same with buzzfeed. they recently got some kind of award for theit journalism. all the stupid video content buzzfeed is known for during the last years are just there to get them money, so they can pay their real journalists who do some real good work
And it looks like they toned propaganda down, in favour of journalism.
'US-IRAN Shadow War for the control of Mac n Cheese'
How dare you mock the struggle of mac n cheese guy. F**k Kraft! Viva Velveeta!
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
@A when u see something u don’t like, u get butthurt. Got it.
@A Anything that doesn't lick America's boot is pro Iran to you. You are so brainwashed.
This is not non partisan lol. 4 minutes into and vice is justifying for the mullah’s 🤣
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.
No judgements, pure first hand information. Absolutely amazing 10/10 documentary
thats how journalists stay alive in these countries where everyone has a terrorist mindset
This is the vice I subscribed to a long time ago. Thanks for this.
Back to the roots on vice , these are the type of documentaries we seek.
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 .
So far so good. Back to Reality,😇👍 And Amazing Content!!

Outstanding documentary!!!! I loved it. I also watched the one you made in Ghaza.
I bet that's not a term you are going to hear in English very often - "I've never been so happy to make it to Baghdad!" Love your work Suroosh!
If you had to summarize geopolitics in the Middle East, I think your sentence would be perfect:
"..the reality is a lot more complicated."
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.

Vice trying to red pill as much people as they can, which is nice.
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.
I did all that and the common factor of everything wrong in these sh*tholes is islam.
They live under a theocracy, its not that complicated, its like europe during the dark ages

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!
On any good vice video there is ALWAYS this comment. Are you guys just copying and pasting it everywhere?
no wonder they started doing the old style content that made them, they escaped their hbo shackles and have creative control again yay
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.

He's Pakistani! He's seen and reported on far worse!
Oh come on this stuff is just a regular day. People in that unstable shithole get assassinated all the time.
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.

Yup thats our beautiful government forya. No justification for anything they do, literally 0 accountability.

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...

The subtitles are strangely sometimes very wrong. For example 33:30 - he actually said 'I can say that Soleimani [had] more relations with the Kurds than we did' (I'm not sure about the "than we did" part, but Vice's translation was definitely wrong).
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.

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 .

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.
It's the nature of the beast. The clickbait pays the rent and funds real journalism like this story.
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.

there is one thing i learned that applies to almost everyone essentially they start out good with good honest intentions but eventually somewhere down the line they slip and end up doing some not so good thing’s or they get forced under and have no choice but to do bad thing’s and some people either from experiences or trauma do bad thing’s because they became unstable or were betrayed by there family friend’s romantic partner or even country these thing’s happen all the time and this is also similar to a piece i made talking about villians in movies or show’s or video game’s that can also apply to here some people are just born evil some people are made evil by there experiences or trauma or betrayal or whatever else alot of it is just people trying to do what they think is right even though it might be wrong or wrong in the eyes of other’s and nobody is immune to this not iraq not iran not america not anyone everyone has done stuff they probably should not of it’s just how thing’s are and even if there was some other life in space as smart or smarter then us it’s probably the same thing and they make mistakes it’s the simple principles of good and evil just everyone blows it way out of proportion no matter who you are no matter what country you are there are good and bad people that’s just life and sometimes bad people get into positions of power i have never had interest in voting for president because in my opinion all the presidents of recent since i have been of age to vote suck and are not worth the vote

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
@@ameyas7726 not true at all , lol nothing has changed just the topic.
I cant believe reporting like this is free. Amazing.
Crazy how much things change in a years time...
This feels like a prelude to a massive war
I mean it kinda looks like the world is ramping up to another global conflict
Harkness, that is because that's actually what is being sold to you...even through seemingly cautionary material like this. War is normalized by the sensationalist media. For clicks.
Ww3 💪

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 being in an Iranian jail for years might’ve changed him
@@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"
That being said however, this guy I think is actually an Iranian actor of some sort.
I find it amazing how Iran stays relevant in Middle East since the birth of the First Persian Empire(Achaemenids)
Except the Mongols, Macedonian empire.
@@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.
Excellent work!
I hadn't known that Vice can also make decent documentaries.
For me, Vice was actually always something loyal to the system, anti-citizen.
But this post is really good and neutral.
Thank you for the outstanding work.
VICE is back in it's original format. Great. I simply could not watch VICE, while under HBO domination...

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.
OK, now vice back to the roots! Thank you Soroush for this great documentary! Love from Iran!

@Happi ah yes destroy country, install puppet regime, puppet regime tortures people, people become frustrated and become radicalized, blame Islam.
youre the embodiment of soyjack
@Happi the Roman Persian wars happened before Islam and they too were deadly and devastating especially when considering the population of those lands back then
@Happi they were never this way until the ottoman collapse after WWI and the western powers drawing borders and playing with the whole region.
@Happi If the western powers never entered the middle east, none of this would have happened 🤡
@Happi when Christians were too busy burning each other on stakes for scientific discovery's, Muslims conquered half the world and brought forward one of the greatest scientific ages (islamic golden age) but ofcourse yyou seem like that guy that knows nothing about history and just like to blame everything on a religion you dont understand
Turn it to glass, but make sure all the vice reporters are there before hand 😂 lmao
I’m seeing all the praising comment and fail to understand- what the hell is so great about the film ? The fact that he entered Iran ?! He basically interviewed people under constant supervision and restrictions- his questions were superficial (how do you feel standing next to the car ? What do you think of Sulimani ?) I mean, I’m not accusing VICE, they simply couldn’t ask real tough questions - but what the hell is so great about this film ?!? The flamingos ?
He’s letting us hear their perspectives, instead of it being filtered through our mainstream media. Not every interview needs to be a debate.
Watching this again as the us embassy is evacuated in Afghanistan.
Iraq is a completely different ball of game
Hopefully the new Policy is Withdraw and watch the region eat itself. The Afghans and the Pakistanis are not too keen on the Chinese, Tajikistan is not warm and cozy to Afghanistan, etc... Oh and of course you have the Holdouts in N Afghanistan and Isis goin after the Taliban and the new Socially Conscious Women's Movement the Taliban are managing to transform into Martys. Not a good look. Meanwhile there's not just this Shadow War, it's a Cold WWIII. Just look at the 27 Ongoing Conflicts in Africa alone! The U.S., Russia, China, France and the U.K all have some form of presence or Military Contractors acting throughout Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central America and beyond. This is but a small portion of that struggle. However with Iran and its Nuke Program... thesis the area that has everyone sweating.
I must say... america is VERRY good in making enemies
