A look at Iranian newspaper front pages on June 11

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of newspapers on Thursday and picked headlines from 16 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Reformist dailies focused their front-page attention on the reverberations of the arrest of Hamid Baghaei, a deputy of the former president; while principlist dailies mostly led on criticism by the Judiciary chief of President Hassan Rouhani for blaming sanctions for every problem the country is faced with.

 

Abrar: A new round of nuclear talks between the deputies of [Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad] Zarif and [EU foreign policy chief] Federica Mogherini has opened in Vienna.

Abrar: “Some are tying every problem the country is facing to sanctions and nuclear talks,” said Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadegh Amoli Larijani.

His comments came as Attorney General Ebrahim Raeesi said that tying the country’s problems, including water shortage, to nuclear talks is a strategic mistake.
