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." 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."

Production

Portland filmmaker Andy Norris 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. Visual footage of contemporary Iran was provided by travel writer Rick Steves.

  • Reception

    Targeting Iran was included in the lineup of the 2013/2014 season of the Noor Iranian Film Festival.

    Critical

    Willamette Week gave the film a "Critic's Score" of 'C', saying "Targeting Iran is a classic case of TMI: Norris tries to pack a 272-page book into 71 minutes of film, and the resulting documentary starts to burst at the seams."
