A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on April 26

The top story in all newspapers today was the talks between US President Donald Trump and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron over a new deal on Iran, and Tehran’s harsh reactions to the idea.

Several papers also covered the remarks made by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, on the need for seminaries to take philosophy more seriously.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s visit to the city of Tabriz in north-western Iran, his surprise visit to the bazaar of shoemakers, and his participation in a ceremony to inaugurate the Tabriz 2018 tourism event also received great coverage. Tabriz 2018 is an event to mark the designation of Tabriz as the tourism capital of Muslim world in 2018.
