A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on May 3

IFP has taken a look at the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Tuesday and picked headlines from 22 of them. IFP has simply translated the headlines and does not vouch for their accuracy.

Most Iranian newspapers on Tuesday covered the remarks about the US naval presence in the Persian Gulf made by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who was speaking during a meeting with Iranian educators.

They also highlighted the Leader’s meeting with South Korean President Park Geun-Hye and his comments on sustainable relations between Tehran and Seoul.

The opening of Tehran International Book Fair in the capital’s new fairground, Shahr-e Aftab, is also a hot topic.
