Several papers today covered the remarks made by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani about the government’s resolve to counter those disrupting the country’s economy.

Also a top story was a letter by 100 political figures, mostly reformists, to call for Tehran’s direct and unconditional negotiations with US President Donald Trump, and the reactions to the controversial letter.
