A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on December 10

The top story in all papers today was the fresh round of Yellow Vest protests in France and other European countries, which took thousands of protesters to the streets for the fourth consecutive week.

Several papers also covered the remarks by conservative politician Ebrahim Raisi in criticism of the government of his former rival Hassan Rouhani.

The recent deal on output cut clinched by members of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was also described as a heavy blow to the US administration, which was pressurizing the OPEC to avoid cutting its oil output to keep the prices down.
