Tonight on *24 with Fardad Farahzad* attention turns to the anticipated Doha talks as Washington says senior U.S. officials, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, will attend, while Tehran insists no negotiations with the United States are planned. The program examines conflicting narratives surrounding the proposed memorandum of understanding, legal and political obstacles to a broader agreement, and the challenges of implementing sanctions relief. It also covers Bloomberg’s report on banks’ hesitation to resume business with Iran, the latest developments in Russia’s war against Ukraine, and Iraq’s sweeping anti-corruption campaign.

امشب در «۲۴ با فرداد فرحزاد»، تمرکز برنامه بر مذاکرات احتمالی دوحه است؛ در حالی که کاخ سفید از حضور استیو ویتکاف و جرد کوشنر خبر می‌دهد، تهران هرگونه مذاکره با آمریکا را رد می‌کند. برنامه روایت‌های متناقض درباره تفاهم‌نامه، موانع حقوقی و سیاسی رسیدن به توافق، و دشواری اجرای تعلیق تحریم‌ها را بررسی می‌کند. همچنین گزارش بلومبرگ درباره تردید بانک‌ها برای ازسرگیری همکاری با ایران، تازه‌ترین تحولات جنگ روسیه و اوکراین، و عملیات گسترده مبارزه با فساد در عراق مورد بررسی قرار می‌گیرد.

Tonight on *24 with Fardad Farahzad*, diplomatic efforts between Iran and the United States resume, with Washington and Tehran describing talks mediated by Oman as constructive. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent express optimism that an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be reached within days, while stressing that these negotiations are separate from any future nuclear deal. The program also examines Reuters' report on concerns over dwindling U.S. long-range missile stockpiles, reports of a covert Chinese arms deal with Tehran through Pakistan, conflicting signals from Iran's leadership, and the broader implications for regional security and the next phase of U.S.–Iran diplomacy.

امشب در «۲۴ با فرداد فرحزاد»، تلاش‌های دیپلماتیک ایران و آمریکا از سر گرفته شده و واشینگتن و تهران مذاکرات با میانجیگری عمان را مثبت توصیف می‌کنند. مارکو روبیو، وزیر خارجه آمریکا، و اسکات بسنت، وزیر خزانه‌داری، ابراز امیدواری می‌کنند که توافق برای بازگشایی تنگه هرمز ظرف چند روز آینده حاصل شود، هرچند تأکید دارند این مذاکرات جدا از هرگونه توافق احتمالی درباره پرونده هسته‌ای است. برنامه همچنین گزارش رویترز درباره نگرانی از کاهش ذخایر موشک‌های دوربرد آمریکا، گزارش‌ها درباره معامله تسلیحاتی محرمانه چین با تهران از طریق پاکستان، پیام‌های متناقض مقام‌های جمهوری اسلامی و پیامدهای این تحولات برای امنیت منطقه و آینده مذاکرات تهران و واشینگتن را بررسی می‌کند.

Behind closed doors, Washington and Tehran are trading wildly clashing narratives over nuclear dismantling, the lifting of the naval blockade, and the billions in frozen assets. Making matters worse, President Trump has openly blasted Iranian state media's terms as completely detached from reality, while CENTCOM just intercepted a fresh wave of Iranian one-way attack drones in the Strait of Hormuz.

Why Ukraine’s Fedorov Protests Matter for the War’s Front Line
Ukraine’s Defense Reform Crisis and the Fight to Halt Russia’s Advance
Can Ukraine Make Every Russian Advance Too Costly to Sustain?
Fedorov’s Removal, Front-Line Logistics, and Ukraine’s War Strategy

I examine Ukraine’s effort to slow Russia’s advance through corps reform, drone-enabled logistics, recruitment, attrition strategy, and deep strikes on Russian oil refineries. I also assess the protests following Mikhail Fedorov’s dismissal and what front-line supply failures reveal about Ukraine’s military challenges.

RYBAR ARRESTED! I examine the reported detention in Montenegro of Mikhail Zvinchuk, the founder of the pro-war Russian military-blogger network Rybar, along with his wife and three associates. Rybar often supports Russia’s war aims while reporting battlefield weaknesses that the Russian Defense Ministry downplays, including Ukrainian strikes on supply routes serving occupied Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea.

I look at why this case could become a political tug-of-war. Zvinchuk is under UK and EU sanctions and is on a U.S. wanted list tied to alleged election interference. Montenegrin authorities reportedly found drones and digital equipment, but I stress that those reports do not by themselves establish criminal intent; Rybar says the group was filming a monastery and planning a documentary. Montenegro’s prime minister has framed the detention around the country’s European future, while Moscow has demanded answers and Dmitry Medvedev escalated with hostage rhetoric. The central question is whether Montenegro releases Zvinchuk, extradites him, or faces sustained Russian pressure.

Today, there is important news from Sweden.

Here, Sweden decided to fundamentally change the balance of air power over Ukraine and completely transform Ukrainian air combat capabilities. What initially looked like another military aid package has rapidly turned out to be something much bigger, which will give Ukraine full control of the skies.

Everything is set to change in the Ukrainian sky, as Sweden officially announced during Zelensky’s visit that they approved the purchase of twenty new Gripen EF variants for the Ukrainian Air Force. However, the Swedes just made the deal a lot bigger, as they announced the transfer of sixteen Gripen CD fighter jets to Ukraine free of charge, with the CD variants arriving in Ukraine by the start of two-thousand-twenty-seven. During Zelensky’s visit, Swedish Gripen fighters escorted his aircraft, almost serving as a window into the future of Ukraine’s air force. On top of that, Sweden added a massive military support package worth four billion euros, including Meteor missiles, long-term maintenance support for the purchased Gripen aircraft, and additional funding for Ukrainian drone production.

Ukraine and Sweden have been quietly preparing this transition for months, with the formal letter of intent signed in late two thousand twenty five laying the groundwork for extensive cooperation, with the eventual purchase of up to one hundred fifty aircraft. Ukrainian pilots have already undergone introductory Gripen training and familiarization flights, while Swedish and Ukrainian defense officials coordinated logistics, maintenance, and operational integration behind the scenes. Even Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha’s selfie with Gripens in the background posted last week appears to have been a deliberate hint that the deal was struck, with Zelensky making it official.

However, possibly more importantly, Ukraine will also receive Meteor long-range air-to-air missiles together with the Gripens. This can be one of the most significant aspects of the deal because the Meteor fundamentally changes how Ukrainian pilots can engage Russian aircraft. The missile can strike targets at distances approaching two hundred kilometers and possesses one of the largest no-escape zones in the world. This means Russian pilots will both be engaged from a much further distance than before, and have a much smaller chance of being able to safely disengage once Ukrainian jets fire their missiles, even if they immediately turn away or attempt evasive maneuvers.

For Ukraine, this creates a massive operational advantage, as Russian aircraft currently rely heavily on operating behind the frontline while launching glide bombs from relatively safe distances. Meteor missiles threaten these aircraft far earlier, pushing the safe zone for Russian pilots too far behind the frontline to conduct devastating glide bomb attacks on Ukrainian cities and defensive positions. This means that Russia’s most effective aerial support tactic is now well within Ukraine’s ability to intercept.

The Gripen jet itself is equally important because it was designed specifically for the kind of asymmetric warfare Ukraine is already fighting. During the Cold War, Sweden expected that Russian missile strikes would quickly destroy traditional airbases. As a result, the Gripen was engineered to operate from highways, improvised runways, and dispersed locations with minimal crews and extremely rapid turnaround times. Specifically, it only takes around ten to fifteen minutes to fully rearm and refuel the Gripen, with a team of one certified technician and five conscript mechanics needing only two trucks with fuel, ammunition, and basic equipment to achieve these rapid times.

This fits Ukraine’s wartime reality perfectly, as Ukrainian aircraft are already constantly relocating between temporary bases to survive Russian missile attacks. The difference is that Ukrainian pilots have been adapting older Soviet aircraft to this role, while the Gripen was purpose-built for it from the beginning. Small maintenance teams can refuel and rearm the aircraft within minutes, allowing very high sortie rates even under constant missile threat.

At the same time, the future Gripen EF variants represent an even larger leap forward, as unlike the older CD models, the EF incorporates the new superior Raven radar, advanced infrared search systems, which will allow Ukrainian pilots to detect and engage threats much earlier. Combined with a modern electronic warfare suite, it improves survivability against Russian air defense systems. The improved fuel capacity for extended combat range with a more powerful engine gives the Gripen the ability to carry significantly more weapons, including up to eight Meteor missiles. All this allows the Gripen EF to transform...

Tonight on *24 with Fardad Farahzad* the United States reinforces its military presence by deploying additional aerial refueling aircraft to the region as strikes on targets in southern Iran continue. Inside Iran, hardline factions intensify pressure on President Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf to abandon negotiations with Washington. The program also examines new threats by the IRGC against the U.S. and regional states, growing concern over attacks on civilian infrastructure, Washington's debate over the next phase of the conflict, and mounting criticism from Gulf countries over Tehran's actions.

امشب در «۲۴ با فرداد فرحزاد»، همزمان با ادامه حملات آمریکا به اهدافی در جنوب ایران، واشینگتن با استقرار هواپیماهای سوخت‌رسان بیشتر، حضور نظامی خود را در منطقه تقویت می‌کند. در داخل ایران نیز فشار جناح‌های تندرو بر مسعود پزشکیان و محمدباقر قالیباف برای کنار گذاشتن مذاکرات با آمریکا افزایش یافته است. برنامه همچنین تهدیدهای تازه سپاه علیه آمریکا و کشورهای منطقه، نگرانی‌ها درباره حمله به زیرساخت‌های غیرنظامی، بحث‌های جاری در واشینگتن درباره مرحله بعدی درگیری و واکنش‌های تند کشورهای خلیج فارس به اقدامات جمهوری اسلامی را بررسی می‌کند.
