The state visit by South African President Jacob Zuma and his meetings with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani received a lot of coverage across Iranian media.
The recent controversial remarks by Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Chief Valiollah Seif – who pinned the blame on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government over the US seizure of Iran’s frozen assets – also continued to garner reactions from different factions.
