What has happened on Tehran so far?

The series is focused on Tamar (Niv Sultan), a young Mossad agent from an Iranian family who is sent to Tehran to destabilize the Iranian nuclear program. After going rogue at the end of Season 2 and reeling from the loss of her closest allies in Season 3, Tamar must find a way to reinvent herself and win back the Mossad’s support if she is to survive.
