What is Tehran season 3 about?
Our protagonist is Tamar Rabinyan, a young Jewish woman born in Iran but raised in Israel, who in the first season was tasked by Mossad agent with an undercover mission into the titular Iranian capital to disable a nuclear reactor. Things have gotten far more complicated since then, and Tamar has become much more experienced at navigating the deadly and treacherous world of Middle Eastern clandestine politics, in the second season undertaking the assassination of the new head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
That led to the assassination of her lover, Milad, by Mossad and Tamar herself targeted for death by Israeli intelligence. Which brings us up to speed for season three, where she’s on the run from both the Iranian and Israeli intelligence services, and quickly running out of people to turn to.
