The gruesome images of multiple terror attacks in Paris and global condemnation of the horrible attacks dominated the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Sunday. The cover of the dailies also featured the Vienna talks on Syria which wrapped up on Saturday without releasing a statement.
Note: IFP has decided not to include Kayhan and Vatan-e Emrooz in its review of the front pages of Iranian dailies today because of the headlines they ran on the terrorist attacks in Paris. Iran Front Page views their headlines as running counter to the esprit de corps of the Iranian nation. To us, this is not censorship.
