Radio Farda is known for its critical stance on the Iranian government.

The JCPOA is an agreement between Iran and six global powers that was reached in early summer 1394. The agreement aimed to limit Iran's nuclear program while allowing Tehran to witness the lifting of international sanctions due to this program. However, this process became more complex throughout 1396, about three months after Donald Trump took office in the U.S. This meant that not only Iran's nuclear program was the subject of the JCPOA and discussions surrounding it, but also Tehran's missile program, its actions in the region, its military presence in Iraq and Syria, and its support for the Shia Houthis in Yemen came under intense scrutiny from Washington. Therefore, the path forward for the JCPOA, which was just beginning its implementation, is shrouded in uncertainty in 1397. The deadline of 22 Ordibehesht is when the future course in this regard will become clearer. In this program, we review what happened to the JCPOA in 1396.
