The majority of newspapers on Monday covered the upcoming presidential elections in the US, where the GOP candidate Donald Trump’s chance has sharply increased in recent days.
Another top story today was the ongoing battle to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul and the beginning of an operation to liberate the city of Raqqa in Syria, two of the last ISIS strongholds in the Middle East.
The recent suicide attacks in Iraq, in which several Iranian pilgrims were killed and dozens were wounded, also received great coverage.
The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines:
