A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 15

The top story in all papers today was the bloody day in the Gaza Strip, where at least 60 Palestinians were killed and hundreds of others wounded by Israeli forces.

The massacre came as the US was celebrating the relocation of its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds, a move which has sparked outrage among the entire Muslim world.

Also a top story was the ongoing efforts by the Iranian government, particularly Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, to get assurances from other parties to the Iran nuclear deal in an attempt to preserve the 2015 agreement after the US withdrawal.

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