Inside Iran: The proxy war on the brink of erupting | Four Corners
With the Middle East on the brink of war, Four Corners travels to Iran, Lebanon and Israel to investigate why a new regional war is looming.
Four Corners gains rare access to Iran. There they reveal the fault lines of a repressive regime, and how its power extends through proxy groups in the region – Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
Global Affairs Editor John Lyons travels to Hezbollah’s heartland in Lebanon, then to Israel, now facing war on multiple fronts. He speaks with key figures, politicians and military insiders to unravel the challenge of defusing this geopolitical timebomb.
