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

Aftab-e Yazd: The spokesman of the judiciary has said that the reason why some MPs want to meet with Babak Zanjani [a young billionaire who stands accused of massive corruption when Ahmadinejad was in office] should be made clear.
