Several papers today covered the remarks by President Hassan Rouhani during his trips to Austria and Switzerland, particularly those regarding the EU’s efforts to save the Iran nuclear deal, which are expected to culminate on Friday when the bloc’s package to save the JCPOA is offered to Tehran.
Also a top story was a letter by IRGC Quds Force Commander Major General Qassem Soleimani to President Rouhani, in which the former praised the latter’s “timely and wise” stances against the US and Israel.
Efforts to end the water crisis in south-western Iran, particularly the city of Khorramshahr, also received great coverage.
