A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on March 19

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Monday, March 19, and picked headlines from 20 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

The end of the Iranian calendar year 1396, which had started in mid-March, was the top story of all newspapers today in the last working day of the year.

Several papers pointed to the disastrous and tragic moments of the year, and expressed hope that the New Year would be a better one for all the Iranian people. Many of them also reported all the important events in Iran and other parts of the world during the past year.

Apart from that, other top stories today included the Turkish army’s occupation of Syria’s Afrin, and the remarks made by President Hassan Rouhani and First Vice-President Es’haq Jahangiri about the New Year.
