Iran - The Hidden Hand  | Grey Zone Ep 6

The Wargame

Russia knows our weaknesses. But do you?   

A major five-part series from Sky News and Tortoise which imagines how a Russian attack on the UK could play out – and invites real-life former ministers, military chiefs and other experts to figure out how to defend the country.   

Written and presented by Sky News' security and defence editor, Deborah Haynes.

This is Deborah's second podcast series for Sky News. In her first series, Into The Grey Zone, Deborah explores the murky evolution of warfare.

What do assassinations, cyber hacks and disinformation have in common? They're all weapons used by states against each other in a grey zone of harm under the threshold of war, but could be just as dangerous if ignored.

On 3 January 2020, the United States killed Iran’s top spy master, Major General Qasem Soleimani, in a drone strike in Iraq. There was nothing grey or ambiguous about the assassination, but this episode explores the escalating grey zone hostilities between Iran and the United States in the preceding years and how they almost ignited a real war. Sky News journalist Deborah Haynes explores in particular how Iran allegedly uses proxy forces in the grey zone, under the threshold of war, to try to level the playing field when competing with a super power. Interviews: General David Petraeus, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency John Raine, Senior Adviser for Geopolitical Due Diligence, International Institute for Strategic Studies Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Conservative MP and former UK defence minister. She now serves as energy minister Fabian Picardo, Chief Minister of Gibraltar Anonymous Iraqi MP Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Professor of English Literature and Orientalism, University of Tehran Major General Amos Yadlin, a former chief of Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate Credits: Written and narrated by Deborah Haynes Edited and produced by Chris Scott Production support from Michael Greenfield The head of Sky News Radio is Dave Terris
