The top story today was Iran’s test-launch of Simorgh satellite carrier, and the opening of the country’s space centre for future launches.
Newspapers also covered a statement by the office of the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, which rejected the media reports about the Leader’s interference in selection of all cabinet members. The statement stressed that only the ministers of foreign affairs, defence, and intelligence are selected after coordination with the Leader.
The reactions to the US Congress’ anti-Iran sanctions bill also remained a top story in today’s newspapers.
