controversy

On February 8, 2011, the film was condemned by the Iranian Foreign Ministry at a press conference in Tehran. As a result, the Library and Archives of Canada (LAC) refused to show the film. But the Canadian government ordered the LAC to show the film after all.

The film was then shown at the Library and Archives of Canada in Ottawa. The Vancouver Sun wrote about the film afterwards: "It would be tempting to label the film as a right-wing fantasy if the Iranian government had not done so much to prevent its release."

criticism

The film has been criticized by the PBS for allegedly being incorrect and only using interviewees from neoconservative think tanks in Washington. In addition, the film ignores the fact that the Iranian regime is more interested in survival than in the atomic bomb and that the Mossad reported that the Iranians were still a long way behind in building the atomic bomb.

The film was also condemned by the Iranian Student Alliance in America (ISAA) because it would stir up fears and call for war.
