On Saturday, almost all Iranian newspapers covered the remarks by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, at a gathering of Islamic countries’ ambassadors.
They also focused on President Hassan Rouhani’s controversial criticism of “Revolutionary Islam” idea, vis-à-vis his preferred idea of “Islamic Revolution”, publishing a variety of reactions, including calling Islam a religion both for struggle and for life.
The most important regional development, the resignation of Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu after his quarrel with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was also a hot topic in many newspapers.
