From Revolution to War: The History Behind the Iran-Israel-US Conflict
CNN 10
Mar 6, 2026

In a special edition of CNN10: We've reported on this week's War with Iran, but what ultimately led to this watershed moment? We take half of the show to put the conflict into greater context. We'll begin in the 1950s, and explain the pivotal historical events: a coup, a revolution, a nuclear enrichment program and rounds of sanctions. Also in the Show: We'll explore the origins of Daylight Saving Time, and meet an unsung hero in Women's History who shaped the internet we know today. All this and more on today's CNN10!
