A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on December 12

Newspapers on Monday covered the remarks made by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with Iraqi officials in Tehran. The Leader’s remarks about Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi [Popular Mobilisation Forces] and warnings against trusting the United States were widely covered in the headlines today.

Another top story was Tehran Security Conference, which was attended by senior officials and reportedly portrayed Iran as the centre of stability and security in the chaotic Middle East.

The imminent liberation of Syria’s Aleppo and Iraq’s Mosul also remained a top story today.

The deal between Iran and South Korea for building dozens of ships was also a controversial story, as the commander of IRGC’s Khatam al-Anbia Construction Base harshly criticized it by saying that the deal ignores Iran’s capabilities. IFP will publish a full report about all the reactions to this contract.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines:
