The efforts to rescue or recover the bodies of firefighters entrapped after the Thursday collapse pf Plasco Building in central Tehran remained the top story in today’s newspapers.
Newspapers also released interviews with a number of firefighters and shop owners of Plasco Building regarding the tragic incident and the damages they have suffered.
A lawsuit filed by former president Mohammad Khatami against former Basij Commander Brigadier General Naqdi also received great coverage. Naqdi recently accused the reformist ex-president of receiving money from Saudis.
