Newspapers on Tuesday highlighted the election of General Michel Aoun, an ally of the Lebanese Hezbollah Movement, as the new president of Lebanon, and the end of more than two years of power vacuum in the Arab country.
President Hassan Rouhani’s meetings with new foreign ambassadors, particularly the new British Ambassador to Tehran Nicholas Hopton, also received great coverage.
Another top story was the parliamentary session due to be held on Tuesday to give a vote of confidence to three ministers nominated by President Rouhani.
