A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on June 18

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Saturday and picked headlines from 28 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

A huge explosion in early hours of Friday frightened many people in the Shahran district, west Tehran. The explosion, which was controlled in a few hours, created a 50m-deep hole in the ground, and caused serious damage to surrounding buildings and local infrastructure. The severing of power, water, gas, and communication lines was partly resolved hours after the explosion, which was widely covered by Iranian newspapers.

Another top story was the latest cases of astronomical salaries being leaked in Iranian media. This time, the salaries of doctors and staff at the National Development Fund were revealed, provoking serious criticism from almost all papers.

Newspapers also dedicated their front pages to the ongoing dust pollution in both west and east Iran, which is largely coming from Syrian and Iraqi deserts.
