Almost all Iranian newspapers today covered speculations and discussions about the US possible move against Iran nuclear deal. Among the top stories in this regard was US President Donald Trump’s meeting with top American military commanders, where he said the current situation is ‘the calm before the storm’.
While reformist and pro-government papers underline that Iran will be the ultimate winner even if the US withdraws from JCPOA, conservative newspapers say the current situation is a result of Rouhani government’s trust in the US.
Another top story today was the arrest of Mahdi Jahangiri, the brother of First Vice-President Es’haq Jahangiri, who is said to be accused of financial corruption. No detail has been released on his arrest, but it has been confirmed by Es’haq Jahangiri. Meanwhile, some papers have tried to emphasize that Rouhani’s VP has never supporter his brother’s activities and had no role in his possibly illegal moves.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s participation in the funeral ceremony of former Iraqi president Jalal Talabani in Sulaymaniyah, the Iraqi Kurdistan region, also received great coverage today.
