A look at Iranian newspaper front pages on Feb. 12

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of newspapers on Thursday and picked headlines from 13 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Almost all Iranian dailies splashed on their front pages images of huge rallies across the nation to mark the victory of the Islamic Revolution 36 years ago.

Reformist newspapers called the rallies a declaration of public support for nuclear talks, but principlist dailies said the Iranians said no to the West. “The nation’s nuclear support”, “Iranians created yet another epic; more revolutionary than before”, “The nation’s fist on the table”, and “The peak of zeal and unity”, were some of the front page headlines on Thursday. Comments by President Rouhani at one such rally in Tehran drew a lot of front-page attention too.

 

Afarinesh: “We’d leave the negotiating table if the West made illegitimate demands,” said Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

Afarinesh: “None of the establishment’s officials are opposed to a nuclear deal,” said Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.
