The election of Iranian Parliament’s presiding board was a top story in reformist and moderate newspapers. During the election, thanks to the efforts made by reformist MPs, Ali Motahari and Massoud Pezeshkian were re-elected as vice-speakers.
Conservative papers mainly focused on the controversy over the free export of Iran’s natural gas to Turkey. The Oil Ministry is under fire for the export, but the Oil Minister says it is normal based on international rules.
The huge blast in Afghanistan’s capital of Kabul was also a top story today. The attack, which was claimed by the ISIS terrorist group, killed at least 100 and wounded almost 500.
