IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Monday and picked headlines from 23 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Most newspapers on Monday covered the success of Asghar Farhadi’s most recent movie, The Salesman, in the Sunday night closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, where Shahab Hossein won the Best Actor award, and Asghar Farhadi was awarded for the Best Screenplay.

Another top story was the ongoing visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to Tehran and the trilateral agreement due to be signed regarding Chabahar Port.

Remarks by different Iranian officials on the nuclear deal (JCPOA) and the problems of its implementation were also covered by Iranian newspapers as usual.
