Career

Sultan was chosen as the lead role in the Apple TV+ Israeli series Tehran (Hebrew: טהרן) where she stars as Tamar Rabinyan, a Mossad agent working a ground operation in Tehran, Iran.[2][3]

During an interview with The Natural Aristocrat,[4] Niv Sultan commented on why she loves portraying Tamar on Apple TV+ series Tehran:

"For me, that was what I love most about her. I mean, she’s a real person, as you said, she’s not the cliche of super hero, Mossad agents saving the world.

Yes, she’s brave but she’s also scared, makes mistakes, falls in love, and misses her dad. And I think that’s the beauty of her." - Niv Sultan
