Newspapers on Sunday widely covered the death of renowned Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami and the possible medical errors that led to his demise. Kiarostami is laid to rest today while the medical error issue is being seriously pursued by the Health Ministry.

The remarks by Atomic Energy Organization of Iran [AEOI] Chief Ali Akbar Salehi about a plot being hatched by the West against Iran’s nuclear program also received huge coverage. He had earlier talked about the US violation of its JCPOA commitments, but his remarks were criticized by President Hassan Rouhani, who said Salehi is neither the foreign ministry nor the Central Bank chief to raise such claims. This time, Salehi said he has been a university professor for 40 years, and even if some ‘dear guys’ may get angry over his remarks, he should talk about the plot being hatched against Iran and the US violation of its commitments as per the nuclear deal.

Newspapers also focused on the ongoing unrest in the US and the protest rallies held by the Black people there, and mostly used the headline ‘civil war’ to refer to the developments.

These issues, as well as several more, are covered in following headlines.
