A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on January 30

Newspapers today covered a message released by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, in praise of selfless firefighters killed in the recent tragic collapse of Plasco Building in Tehran. They also covered the funeral ceremony slated to be held on Monday morning in Tehran.

The visa restrictions introduced by US President Donald Trump and the global protests against the racist decision also received great coverage.

A top story today was the decision made by Asghar Farhadi, the acclaimed Iranian filmmaker whose film has been nominated for Best Foreign Language film Oscar this year, to boycott the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony in protest at Trump’s visa ban, which includes Iranian citizens.
