A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on June 20

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Wednesday, June 20, 2018, and picked headlines from 18 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

The top story today was the continued reactions to a letter by a group of reformist figures calling for Tehran’s direct and unconditional talks with Washington and the Trump administration. Conservative media particularly covered the reaction of Government Spokesman Mohammad-Baqer Nobakht who said those who wrote the letter lack enough political wisdom.

The Wednesday night’s FIFA World Cup match between Iran and Spain also made the headlines today as the entire nation is waiting to see the Team Melli’s performance after a 1-0 victory over Morocco in their first match.

The OPEC summit in Austria’s Vienna and the important decisions to be made during the talks also received great coverage.
