A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on June 15

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei met senior Iranian officials in Tehran on Tuesday night. During the meeting, the Leader emphasized that if the other parties to the JCPOA, the nuclear deal, tear it up, Iran would set it on fire. The sentence was repeatedly mentioned by almost all Iranian newspapers on Wednesday. To avoid repetition, IFP has avoided citing all of them, and focused on other remarks quoted by newspapers from the Leader’s comments.

A meeting between Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and US Secretary of State John Kerry in Oslo was also a top story in many papers.

Saudi Arabia’s sponsorship of US election campaigns, as well as the huge increase of Iran’s oil output and exports were also widely covered.
