A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on September 11

On Monday, Iranian newspapers widely covered the holding of the first Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit on science and technology in the Kazakh capital, Astana. They particularly highlighted the remarks made by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in this conference and his Sunday meetings with the leaders of the Islamic states on the sidelines of the forum.

The issue of the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the signatories’, particularly the US’, commitment or reluctance to carry on with the nuclear deal continued to be in the spotlight.

Also in the limelight, as has been the overall trend in the past few weeks, was the issue of the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and international reactions to the tragic event and humanitarian crises in the Southeast Asian state.

A number of newspapers have also paid attention on the awards won by the Iranian film titled ‘No Date, No Signature’ in the Horizons section of the 74th Venice Film Festival. The feature film received Horizons Awards for the best director, Vahid Jalilvand, and best actor, Navid Mohammadzadeh, during the closing ceremony of the event held on Saturday (September 9).
