A new power is emerging in the Middle East, determined to counter the power of the United States and Israel: Iran. Will Iran get the bomb? And what did the President of Iran have up his sleeve when he sent a 30 page letter to President George Bush? Was this an act of provocation? PR? Or a sincere desire for dialogue with the US?
In Mosaic Special Report: Showdown in Iran, we explore these questions with author and Middle East Analyst Vali Nasr. His new book “The Shia Revival,” looks at the growing power of Shia Muslims in Iran and beyond.
Adding further insight is Mosaic Producer Jamal Dajani , who walks us through the news stories coming from Al-Alam TV — Iran’s official channel in Arabic…looking at Iran flexing its muscle.
