Targeting Iran is a 2013 documentary film "designed to help Western audiences understand the complexities of historic and contemporary U.S./Iranian relations in an effort to derail potential military action."[1] Based on the 2007 book of the same name by David Barsamian, the film "seeks to elucidate the myths and popular misconceptions surrounding Iran's nuclear aspirations."[2]
Production
Portland filmmaker Andy Norris[3] approached Barsamian about making a film based on the book after seeing him give a reading at the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita, Oregon in October 2007.[1] Visual footage of contemporary Iran was provided by travel writer Rick Steves.[4]

Reception

Critical
