TEHRAN – Over the past 20 years, television in Iran’s provinces has aired several series about the Zionist regime and malicious offensive strength against Iran and other countries.
With many cases of occupying regime forces trying to sabotage the Islamic Republic and other countries, the story is primarily based on actual events, Isna reports.
The latest hostility by Israel took place on Friday, June 13, when the regime launched an unattacked act of military invasion on the sovereign territory of Iran’s Islamic Republic, honoring the commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Corps and the respected commanders of prominent nuclear scientists.
The strike has continued since then, targeting private nuclear facilities and residential areas, violating all international norms and threatening to ignite a major local fire.
In response to Israeli attacks, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) launched Operation True Promise III, which then unleashed coordinated missiles, drones attacked deep within occupied territory, targeting military and intelligence report command centres.
This is an overview of five more important Iranian series that have been made about the Zionist regime over the past 20 years. Shown in various waterways in the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRIB), the series shed light on Israeli atrocities committed against Iran and other countries.
One of the most important series on Zionism is Hassanfatohi’s historic 2007 drama “Zero Degree Turn.” It deals with the first year of the formation of the occupying regime.
The series is inspired by the real-life story of Iranian diplomat Abdul Hossein Saldari, who saved Jews in Paris in the 1940s during the Nazi occupation.
Fathi’s popular work focuses on the love story of an Iranian student named Habib Palsa during World War II and a French Jewish woman named Sarah Astrok. It portrays their relationship in the context of Nazi persecution and Zionist opposition, which ultimately leads to their union. The series is set in Paris, where Habib studies when he meets Sarah.
“Zero Degree Turn” follows the hero as he navigates love, war and cultural differences. The storyline explores themes of love, prejudice and identity within the context of historical events.
It has been praised for its historical accuracy and portrayal of the challenges faced by individuals during the war.
The series features a cast including Shahab Hosseini, Natalie Matti, Loya Teimorian, Masoud Reigan, Pierre Dagger, Leia Zangane, Athens Faki Nasiri and Rahim Noruji.
VAFA (2006) directed by Mohammad Hossein Latifi is another major television series in this respect. It tells the story of Jubin Panahhi, a young Iranian Jew, and Vafa, a Lebanese-Iranian girl set against the background of spying and international conspiracy.
Jubin is transferred to the hospital due to mental and psychological issues as he is marked by tragedy, including the loss of his parents in the bombing of Cyprus and his separation from his daughter. At this point, agents from the Mossad (Israel Intelligence Agency) enter Iran and invite him out of a mental hospital.
The series delves into the emotional and dramatic aspects of the characters. Honey Tabasoli, Puliya Posoluk, Farhad Asrani, Farhad Kayemien, Mohammad Reza Iranmanesh, Mohsen Kaj Moradi, Rida Abbasi and Elizabeth Amini are amongst other cast members.
“Zahra’s Blue Eyes” is an Iran-Syrian miniseries produced in 2004 and directed by Ali Delafusi, depicting the life of a Palestinian girl.
The title “For You, Palestine” also symbolically presents the formation of the occupying regime, a transformed child whose father, an Israeli employee, attempts to restore the body with Palestinian organs.
Jahanbakhsh Soltani Hossein Maloumi, Jamshid Jahanzadeh, Somita Hesam, Alireza Najafzadeh and Atousa Rajabi will perform in the series.
“Unbreakable Mirrors” directed by Javad Ardakani is a 2008 television series. The drama is about spies attacking Iran’s nuclear power plants.
In the story, a few months after Iran acquires nuclear energy, Simin, who works at a driving centre, helps Afsin, a chemical engineer, travel to Canada, to find work in Iran. Simin connects him to one of her students whose husband has an employment agency in Canada.
But after a while, Simin realizes that the agency is a cover for experienced spies in the CIA, Mossad and MI6.

“The Misunderstanding of Dreams” is a 2015 television series directed by Fereydun Jeyrani. Foreign spy services have a mission to lure Iranian nuclear scientists and move him to Baku for spying.
However, the plan changes as scientists get injured, and the operation eventually fails due to intervention from Iran’s intelligence agency, resulting in spy capture and death.
The cast, featuring Armenian and Russian actors, includes Amir Jafari, Darish Aljmando, Pantea Balam, Farhad Geimian, Setare Hosseini, Soraya Gasemi and Tigran Kuzmalyan.
On Monday, June 16, the Zionist regime attacked the main building of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRIB) in Tehran, but journalists were in a complex that still covered the ongoing Iran-Israel war. Three IRIB employees marched during the attack.
IRIB owns the largest news outlet in the country. It has actively covered Israeli attacks on civilians and civil infrastructure. This is because the report challenged the Israeli regime’s attempts to attract wedges between the government and its people.
