Iran Front Page- IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Sunday, January 7, and picked headlines from 14 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.
The top story in almost all papers today was the recent UN Security Council meeting on the Iran protests, which was held at the request of the US, but led to the isolation of Washington. The Friday meeting turned into a tribune for the member states to express their support for the Iran nuclear deal and to call for avoiding interference in Iran’s domestic affairs.
Several newspapers also covered the remarks by former IRGC chief-commander Mohsen Rezaei about the role of an Erbil-based “operation room” headed by a CIA agent in the recent unrest in Iran. Rezaei says Saddam Hussein’s brother-in-law and representatives of Saudi Arabia and the MKO terrorist group also attended the Erbil meetings where the unrest in Iran was orchestrated.
The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
