A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 14

Several papers today covered the remarks made by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei about the need for Asian states to promote their mutual cooperation. The Leader made the comments in a meeting with Sri Lankan president in Tehran.

The top story, however, was the controversial relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds, and the global condemnation of the move.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s intensive talks with other parties to the Iran nuclear deal in order to save the 2015 agreement after the US withdrawal also received great coverage today.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
