Also a top story was the new semi-heavy submarine, Fateh (Conqueror), unveiled by President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday as Iran’s most advanced submarine.
Reactions to the recent attack by the Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish al-Adl on IRGC forces in south-eastern Iran also remained a top story, with President Rouhani vowing to take revenge.
