About “Tehran” in a few words:

Tehran is a tense spy thriller centered on a Mossad agent sent deep undercover into Iran. Missions go wrong, loyalties blur, and every decision comes with a price. The show isn’t just about espionage — it’s about identity, fear, love, and what happens when personal feelings clash with duty. Stylish, stressful, and surprisingly emotional, it keeps you on edge without ever feeling hollow.

Meet the characters from Tehran

Tamar Rabinyan

Oh man, Tamar is the heartbeat of the show — sharp, fearless, and somehow adorably human even when she’s doing the most impossible undercover things. She’s a Mossad operative (yes, a total spy cliché but she makes it fresh) who can hack, lie, and cry in the same scene and you still root for her — talk about range. She’s got this weird little habit of humming old, sad songs when she’s stressed, which somehow makes her both terrifying and heartbreakingly relatable. Also she’s stubborn as a mule and secretly soft for small acts of kindness (and probably hates pickles? maybe loves them? I can’t remember, but it’s cute).

Faraz Kamali

Faraz is complicated in the best way — brilliant, haunted, and quietly furious about the world, like he carries the weight of a thousand “what ifs” behind his polite face. He seems like the kind of guy who knows how machines work and people even better, which makes him both an asset and a liability in the story (in a good, tensiony way). There’s this simmering idealism under his cynicism — he does things that surprise you, sometimes in maddeningly inconsistent ways, but always believable because he’s just so human. Also, random detail: he probably keeps a notebook full of scribbles and unfinished poems? Maybe I’m projecting.

Nahid Kamali

Nahid is fire wrapped in quiet endurance — the kind of person who never asks for attention but will dismantle your life if you cross her family. She’s this amazing mix of protective mum energy and razor-sharp insight; you can tell she’s carrying secrets and also snacks in her bag (no idea why snacks are important but they are). Her loyalty is intense and sometimes blinding, which makes her both admirable and terrifying — in that good soap-opera way. She laughs rarely and means it when she does, and yes, she probably knows everyone’s birthdays and a little too much about neighborhood gossip.

Yulia Magen

Yulia is the cold, efficient brain with a soft, glitchy heart — the handler/operative archetype who issues orders like a commander but secretly texts the team memes at 2 a.m. (okay I might be making that last part up but it feels right). She’s so controlled that when she lets even a sliver of emotion show, the scene basically explodes — in a good, cinematic way — and you realize she’s been carrying everything. Sharp, pragmatic, and oddly maternal, she juggles moral compromises like it’s a daily routine and somehow still manages to care. Also side note: she probably waters a tiny office plant and names it after a past mission like some very specific coping mechanism.
