Unpacking the Iran-USA ceasefire with world expert Farhang Jahanpour

April 17, 2026

If you only see one video to get the – broader – background to the US-Israel-Iran-ME conflicts and wars, this should be it.

Jan Oberg, TFF director

I am very pleased to give this in-depth interview with TFF Associate Farhang Jahanpour a reposting boost. Not only because he, based on his tremendous knowledge and experience, offers essential background information you seldom get, but also because ‘Perspectio’ is a new, promising YouTube channel by Amara Sophia Elahi that deserves to be boosted.

Farhang Jahanpour goes through the ten-point plan by Iran that Trump – mysteriously – said could serve as a good basis for negotiations. And that Vice President Vance distorted and walked away from in Islamabad.

Jahanpour presents the historical facts of why it is – has always been – pure fantasy and deception when it is argued that Iran wants to become a nuclear weapons power. (1) He also offers essential background on the 2015 diplomatic agreement, the JCPOA, that Trump – illegally – took the United States out of in 2018 after 12 years of negotiations, although Iran had adhered 100% to it.

And lots of other central processes and facts that have led to the tragic situation the region is now in thanks to the February 28 attack by the US and Israel – “USrael.”

So, if you only see one video to get that background, this should be it.

Note

(1) It is worth mentioning that another TFF Associate has written the book about the so-called nuclear bomb of Iran, namely historian and journalist, Gareth Porter, whose book from 2014 is a classic you can read more about here.
