Almost all newspapers covered the participation of millions of Shiite pilgrims from Iran and other countries in the Arba’een pilgrimage, the world’s largest religious gathering, in the Iraqi city of Karbala.
The continued reactions to Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s surprise resignation in Saudi Arabia also remained a top story in today’s newspapers. Several papers particularly covered the latest remarks made by Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah about Riyadh’s house arrest of Hariri.
The comments made by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a security conference in Uzbekistan’s Samarkand, and his meeting with EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini also received great coverage.
