A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on February 18

Almost all newspapers today covered the ongoing climatic crises across Iran, including the flood in southern provinces and the heavy snow in northern Iran.

The dust pollution and its consequences in Khuzestan province were also widely covered by newspapers today.

Another top story was the world title claimed by Iran’s wrestling team, which defeated the US in the final match in Kermanshah, western Iran, to win the top position.
