A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on June 12

Many newspapers on Sunday covered a Canadian court’s ruling ordering the seizure of Iranian non-diplomatic assets under the pretext of alleged roles in terrorist activities. The ruling came at the same time as the Canadian FM’s remarks about resuming ties with Tehran, and this incongruence was also commented upon.

The UN’s withdrawal from blacklisting Saudi Arabia for killing children in Yemen remained a top story today.

Hamid Sabzevari, the famous Iranian poet, passed away in Tehran on Saturday at the age of 91, and his photos were widely published, as newspapers commemorated the “Poet of the Revolution”.
