A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on January 27

Several papers today covered the World Economic Forum held in the Swiss city of Davos, and criticized the Iranian foreign minister for not attending the important summit, where anti-JCPOA lobbies spoke out against Iran.

Also a top story was the Turkish operation in the Syrian city of Afrin, and the US warning about Ankara’s extension of the war to the SDF-controlled Manbij, near the Iraqi border.

A decision by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to upgrade Iran’s risk rating to 5 also received great coverage.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
