The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, separately met Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Tehran. The Leader also attended a graduation ceremony at Imam Hossein University. Ayatollah Khemenei’s remarks on the three occasions were widely covered by Iranian newspapers on Tuesday.
The deal on Chabahar port, a strategic port city in south-east of Iran, was also a top story. The deal was signed between Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani, his Afghan counterpart, and the Indian PM in Tehran.
The reactions to the awards won by Iranian artists in Cannes Festival, and the poor coverage of the success by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) were also highlighted.
The Assembly of Experts was also set to choose its new chairperson during its inaugural session on Tuesday, and the probable candidates and related developments were focused on by a number of newspapers.
