New episodes every 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.

There’s a story that’s been buried for seven years, a chain of events so consequential and clandestine that its true architects have never been named. Operation Rising Lion-Attack on Iran brings that story into the light, not through dry historical accounts, but through the visceral, firsthand testimony of the man who orchestrated it. This fictional drama from Caloroga Shark Media is built around Marcus Cole, a man who dedicated two decades of his life to Mossad’s most perilous missions. At fifty-two, he breaks his silence to narrate the defining operation of his career, an operation that began not with a declaration of war, but with a desperate, midnight heist on the streets of Tehran. What unfolds across this limited six-part series is the tense, human reality of a shadow war waged in the world’s back alleys and secure safehouses. Each episode pulls you deeper into a high-stakes narrative where a single miscalculation could have triggered a global crisis, revealing the personal costs and moral complexities behind an mission that ultimately averted disaster. This isn't a speculative thriller; it's a crafted, immersive audio experience that feels unnervingly real. New installments of this gripping podcast arrive on Thursdays and Sundays, detailing how a covert theft spiraled into a relentless campaign against time itself. You’ll hear the planning, the close calls, and the heavy burden carried by those who operate in the dark, all framed by Cole’s compelling and weathered perspective. For anyone drawn to meticulously researched fictional drama where the fate of nations hangs on silent decisions, this podcast offers a rare and arresting journey.
