A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 26

Almost all papers today covered the recent meeting of the JCPOA Joint Commission in Vienna without the US in attendance. Iran’s seven-day ultimatum to Europe and the EU’s continued support for the JCPOA were among the top stories today.

US President Donald Trump’s move to cancel a meeting with North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un also received great coverage as it was made after Pyongyang’s voluntary destruction of one of its nuclear sites.
