Frontline correspondent Martin Smith discusses his new documentary, Bitter Rivals: Iran and Saudi Arabia, a two-part series that examines how a rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia has plunged the Middle East into sectarian war. The first episode traces the history of how religion and power politics have driven perpetual conflict, from revolution in Iran, to reaction by Saudi Arabia, and wars in Afghanistan, Lebanon and Iraq. The second episode looks at the current political state of Saudi Arabia and Iran. Bitter Rivals: Iran and Saudi Arabia premieres Tuesday, February 20th and Tuesday, February 27th on PBS and online. This segment is guest hosted by Hari Kondabolou.
