Several papers today covered the remarks made by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with a group of Muslims clerics from around the world. During the meeting, the Leader particularly highlighted the need for unity among Muslim countries and the removal of the ‘cancerous tumour’ of Israel.
A deadly terrorist attack on a mosque in Egypt’s Arish also received great coverage. Iran has strongly condemned the attack, which has so far killed at least 235 people.
Also a top story was Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s anti-Iran comments, which were downplayed by the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman.
