A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 17

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Saturday, November 17, 2018, and picked headlines from 14 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Newspapers today widely covered the ongoing talks between Iran and the European Union over the bloc’s efforts to save the Iran nuclear deal, particularly by implementing a special payment mechanism known as Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).

Also a top story was the controversy over Iran’s adoption of the standards set by global anti-money laundering body FATF, particularly the remarks recently made by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif against the opponents of Iran’s accession.

The recent decline in US dollar and gold coin prices in the Iranian markets also received great coverage.
