A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 19

The top story in all papers today was the remarks made by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, about the liberation of Palestine and the Muslim communities’ role in this regard.

Several papers also covered the European Union’s move to shield EU companies doing business with Iran. The EU has begun the “blocking statute” process, which aims to neutralise the extraterritorial effects of US sanctions in the EU.

North Korea’s threat to leave the ongoing talks with the US and its southern neighbour also received great coverage today.
