Several papers today covered the recent protest rallies held across the country over economic woes including growing prices and high unemployment rate.
Newspapers particularly referred to efforts by anti-Iran media and foreign officials who tried to take advantage of the protests and provoke the Iranian people to rise against the Establishment.
Also a top story was the eighth anniversary of “Dey 9” demonstrations held in 2009 in support of the Islamic Establishment, which put an end to the post-election protests.
