A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on June 17

Newspapers today covered the US Senate’s move to impose new sanctions against Iran and the reactions made by Iranian officials.

They also highlighted the release of documents that prove the CIA’s role in 1953 coup in Iran, and the remarks made by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson about a regime change in Iran.
