Tehran (Seasons 1–3)

Tehran (2020) is an Israeli spy thriller series you can watch online on iFILM, streaming on Apple TV+. Niv Sultan leads as Tamar, a Mossad hacker-agent sent deep into Iran on a covert operation. The supporting cast includes Shaun Toub, Navid Negahban, and later seasons brought in Glenn Close and Hugh Laurie.

Tamar enters Tehran under a stolen identity to help disable a nuclear reactor. The mission collapses almost immediately, leaving her stranded in a hostile city without cover — living inside the life of the woman she impersonated, performing that woman's relationships and routines under the constant threat of exposure.

What makes the show effective is the texture of everyday danger: no flashy set pieces, just the grinding tension of a wrong word or a missed signal. Directed in the first season by Daniel Syrkin. Stream all seasons of Tehran online on iFILM.
