# Iran News poster 52p, Shah and American students (Farsi, distributed in Tehran)

A Farsi 'Latest News' sheet in magenta and yellow with four photographs. Captions say an American student presents two volumes of books to the Shahanshah, the Shahanshah addresses Iranian students at a lunch table, students carry out daily activities at a place named 'Amsar', and the Shahanshah watches a students' basketball match. The tell is transfer: the monarch's presence lends standing to a student programme that includes Americans.

The second caption's last words are cramped in the scan and read as printed ('بدانشجویان ایراد'); the rendering 'students of Iran' is therefore not asserted in the translation.
