A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 12

Several papers today covered the West’s reaction to Iran Leader’s disclosure of a secret letter by US President Donald Trump to certain Arab countries.

The ongoing efforts by the European countries and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to save the Iran nuclear deal also received great coverage.
