A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 24

Almost all papers today covered the remarks made by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif about the US sanctions and Europe’s efforts to save the Iran nuclear deal. The Iranian diplomat made the comments during his visit to the Italian capital of Rome, where he attended the Mediterranean Dialogues Conference (MED).

Reactions to Zarif’s controversial comments about ‘rampant’ money laundering in Iran also remained a top story today.

Several papers also highlighted US President Donald Trump’s shocking support for Saudi Arabia despite the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and his claim that a weakened Saudi Arabia may endanger Israel’s existence.
