Iranian press on Saturday covered the league (IPL) championship win by the unpretentious Esteghlal of Khuzestan, which left the popular giants of Tehran, Persepolis and Esteghlal of Tehran, ranking second and third.
Remarks by Ayatollah Akbar Hashehmi Rafsanjani in support of the nuclear deal [JCPOA] were also extensively discussed.
US attempts to encourage Europeans to increase trade with Tehran, as well as a growing rate of suicide in Iran have also remained hot topics.
