Saudi-Owned MBC Plans to Air 'Embassy 87' Amidst Saudi-Iran Tensions
Saudi-owned broadcaster MBC has announced plans to air a TV series titled 'Embassy 87', which was shot in 2022 but previously shelved. The series, directed by Colin Teague, focuses on Saudi diplomats held hostage in Iran during a political crisis in 1987. This announcement comes amidst heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, exacerbated by recent US-Israeli conflicts with Iran. The series is set to be released on MBC's Shahid streaming service, although the exact release date remains unspecified.
