Iranian Diplomacy- Front page of Iranian dailies today was dedicated to Trumps Friday night speech where he decertified JCPOA, the nuclear deal between Iran and the six global powers, and Rouhanis subsequent forceful response less than an hour later. Reformist media tried to downplay the US presidents remarks and argue that nothing will change significantly after the harsh remarks by Donald Trump. Principlists were more skeptical however, and spoke of the end of JCPOA as a valid agreement. An overview of headlines by some major dailies from either side of the camp follows:
