A look at Iranian newspaper front pages on Sept. 28

IFP took a look at front pages of 18 dailies.

Front page headlines of Iranian dailies on Sunday mostly focused on the 7th round of nuclear talks in New York and their failure to produce the intended results. The inconclusive negotiations drew remarks from different politicians and prompted them to adopt a wait-and-see approach until the 8th round of the talks later this year. Comments by Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani in response to the speech by British Prime Minister David Cameron at the UN General Assembly were among top stories. Drawing as much attention was the silver medal that Iranian female shot-putter Leila Rajabi bagged for the first time in the Asian Games. Another headline-grabbing story of the day was a message by the Supreme Leader to Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, a top member of the Assembly of Experts, in which the leader expressed his heartfelt condolences on the passing of Ayatollah Shahroudi’s mother.

Abrar: “We have neutralized the sanctions imposed on the military sector,” said the commander of Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps.

Abrar: “If ISIL militants dare to approach Iran’s borders, we will target [their positions] deep in Iraqi territory,” warned the commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces.
