Newspapers today widely covered the US’ decision to stop Iran’s oil exports by dissuading its clients, and Tehran’s reaction to the ambitious plan.

President Hassan Rouhani’s inauguration of the second phase of the Persian Gulf Star Refinery in Hormozgan province, which will make the country self-sufficient in petroleum, also received great coverage.
