For over four decades, the United States and Iran have been
fighting a war that was never declared — a shadow war of
spies, assassins, cyber attacks, and proxy armies that has
shaped the modern Middle East.
THE SECRET WAR pulls back the curtain on this hidden
conflict, revealing:
• How the CIA and Mossad jointly developed Stuxnet —
the world's first cyber weapon — to destroy Iran's
nuclear centrifuges
• The systematic assassination campaign that eliminated
Iran's top nuclear scientists
• How General Qasem Soleimani built Iran's deadly proxy
network across Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria
• The dramatic killing of Soleimani by a US drone strike
in January 2020 — and how the world nearly went to war
• How US sanctions have devastated the Iranian economy
without firing a single shot
• The secret CIA-Mossad alliance that runs the most
effective covert program since the Cold War
Drawing exclusively from declassified documents,
investigative journalism, and academic research, THE
SECRET WAR is the definitive account of the most
dangerous conflict most people don't know is happening.
