In tonight’s episode of Four Corners, the program revisits the updated PBS documentary Strike on Iran: The Nuclear Question, which examines the impact of US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Reported by Sebastian Walker, the investigation follows on the ground reporting inside Iran to assess the extent of the damage and explore what threat, if any, the country’s nuclear program may still pose.

As the US bombards Iran, sparking region-wide conflicts and unleashing a global economic crisis, Four Corners interrogates one of President Donald Trump’s key reasons for war:
Did Iran pose a nuclear threat?
Just eight months ago, Israel killed nine senior scientists who were integral to Iran’s nuclear program, before the US bombed the country’s major nuclear facilities, believing it was close to producing a nuclear weapon.
After the attack, Trump declared Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities had been “completely and totally obliterated”.
In partnership with The Washington Post, Evident Media and Bellingcat, Emmy Award-winning journalist and veteran correspondent Sebastian Walker travelled to Iran to investigate the impact of the US strikes on the country’s nuclear facilities firsthand.
Along with producer Adam Desiderio, Walker explores how the June attacks affected Iran’s nuclear program, and investigates what, if any, threat it could pose to the rest of the world.

The documentary also features new reporting and interviews with officials about the latest round of US-Israeli military attacks on Iran and the impact it’s having on the country.
Strike on Iran: The Nuclear Question is reported by Sebastian Walker and produced by Adam Desiderio for PBS Frontline and will go to air Monday 6 April at 8.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
