IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Tuesday, April 17, and picked headlines from 20 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
Several newspapers today covered the continued reactions to the Saturday airstrikes conducted by the US, France, and Britain on Syrian targets, and an earlier Israeli attack on a Syrian airbase which killed seven Iranians.
Another top story was the government’s policies to control the foreign exchange market, and the Judiciary’s support for the plans, which are expected to prevent further fluctuations.
The European Union’s support for the Iran nuclear deal and its disagreement with the imposition of new sanctions against the Islamic Republic also received great coverage today. The new sanctions had been proposed by France, Britain, and Germany to appease US President Donald Trump, but other EU member states, including Italy and Sweden, voted against the bans.
Also a major story today was the resignation of Kaveh Madani, a deputy head of Iran’s Department of Environment and a fellow at the Imperial College of London, who refused to return to the country after leaving Iran to attend a conference in eastern Asia. Madani, a well-known environmentalist, had been convinced by the Rouhani administration to return to Iran and work for the government, but he was later arrested for a short time over an espionage case involving several other environmental activists. After his release, a personal photo him was also published, and several conservative media tried to defame him for what they called obscene and inappropriate behaviour.
