Caloroga Shark Media
Fiction
Frequency: 1 episode/31d. Total Eps: 9
A special limited 6 part series. New episodes Thursday and Sunday.
Operation Rising Lion is the untold story of one of history's most audacious intelligence campaigns, narrated by the man who lived it. Marcus Cole spent twenty years coordinating Mossad's most sensitive operations. Now, at 52, he's ready to tell the story that's haunted him for seven years—how a midnight heist in Tehran sparked a shadow war that prevented nuclear catastrophe and cost him everything he had left to lose.
From the legendary 2018 theft of Iran's nuclear archives to the infiltration of double agents at the highest levels of Iranian intelligence, Marcus reveals the human mathematics of modern espionage. Every decision required sacrificing someone. Every operation demanded calculating lives like variables in an equation that had to balance, no matter the cost.
Based on real events but told through deeply personal fictional narratives, this six-part series explores what happens when ordinary people become instruments of history. Dr. Ahmad Tehrani, wrestling with the true nature of his nuclear research. Captain Reza Amiri, hunting the very network we're rooting for. And Marcus himself, carrying his brother's dog tags and a growing list of names he can never forget.This is the story of how we prevented the unthinkable—and whether it was worth what we became.

1. The Heist
dimanche 15 juin 2025 • Duration 21:23
January 31st, 2018. Tehran's Shorabad district. Marcus Cole coordinates the most audacious intelligence operation in history as twenty-two Mossad operatives infiltrate a heavily guarded warehouse containing Iran's nuclear weapons secrets. With only six hours before guards return, the team must breach thirty-two reinforced safes and extract half a ton of classified documents proving Iran's deception about their peaceful nuclear program.
But as Marcus watches from his Tel Aviv control center, he begins calculating a different equation—the human cost of preventing nuclear war. Dr. Ahmad Tehrani's research notes are among the stolen files. Captain Reza Amiri will soon begin hunting the thieves. And Marcus discovers that some operations save the world by destroying the people who execute them.

2. The Double Agent
jeudi 19 juin 2025 • Duration 20:50
Colonel Darius Karimi leads Iran's hunt for the warehouse thieves, but he's been working for Israel all along. Marcus coordinates the recruitment of a network spanning from Tehran to Tel Aviv—twenty-three Iranian intelligence officers who choose conscience over country. Dr. Ahmad Tehrani discovers his peaceful research feeds weapons development and faces an impossible choice.
As the network grows, so does the risk of exposure. When Iran's chief nuclear scientist is assassinated using intelligence the network provided, the human cost becomes undeniable. Marcus learns that preventing nuclear war requires sacrificing the very people trying to prevent it from a different direction. Some betrayals serve the greater good. Others just add names to his private file of the dead.

3. The Scientist
dimanche 22 juin 2025 • Duration 22:54
November 27, 2020. A one-ton remote-controlled machine gun, smuggled into Iran piece by piece, waits on the Absard highway for Dr. Mohsen Rahimi—Iran's nuclear weapons architect and a grandfather who coaches youth soccer.
The assassination takes sixty-three seconds and triggers a five-year manhunt by Captain Reza Amiri, who will stop at nothing to find his childhood friend's killers. As Marcus coordinates the most sophisticated elimination in intelligence history, Dr. Ahmad Tehrani attends the funeral and refuses to provide intelligence for targeting other Iranians.
Some hunts are personal. Some friendships transcend politics. And sometimes the mathematics of prevention and cure become indistinguishable. The network that prevented nuclear war is about to be destroyed by the pursuit of justice.

4. The Infiltration
jeudi 26 juin 2025 • Duration 18:22
Captain Amiri's investigation dismantles the old network as Marcus builds a new one. Over three years, weapons and operatives are smuggled into Iran piece by piece, establishing drone bases and operational capabilities for the ultimate mission. David Mizrahi, a young Israeli-Iranian double agent, penetrates Tehran society while struggling with gambling addiction and the psychological cost of betraying people who trust him.
As the Persian Carpet network grows, so does Iranian paranoia about foreign infiltration. When Amiri's investigation finally exposes the network, Iran accelerates nuclear development in response to perceived threats. The infrastructure designed to prevent nuclear war becomes the catalyst for the very conflict it was meant to avoid. Some networks exist only to consume themselves.
