Reception

Targeting Iran was included in the lineup of the 2013/2014 season of the Noor Iranian Film Festival.[5]

Critical

Willamette Week gave the film a "Critic's Score" of 'C', saying "Targeting Iran is a classic case of TMI: Norris tries to pack a 272-page book into 71 minutes of film, and the resulting documentary starts to burst at the seams."[6]
