All papers today covered the remarks made by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with a gathering of government officials, ambassadors from Muslim countries and guests participating in the 32nd International Islamic Unity conference in Tehran.
The controversy over Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s comments about ‘rampant’ money laundering in Iran also remained a top story today. At the request of the prosecutor-general, the Iranian foreign ministry has prepared and sent a 12-page response to give more details about the claim made by Zarif. Hardliners, however, are still trying to impeach him over the controversial comments.
The ‘yellow vest’ protest rallies in France against President Emmanuel Macron’s economic policies and fuel price hikes also received great coverage.
Several papers also covered the 6.4-magnitude earthquake which hit Kermanshah province in Western Iran, but fortunately left no one killed.
