A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on October 23

Iranian papers today widely covered the remarks made by the Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei about the need for officials to be honest and transparent, and avoid hiding anything from the nation, except for military and security issues.

Also a top story was the remarks made by Saudi energy minister about the difficulty of compensating for Iran’s crude oil after the US sanctions, and inevitability of oil price hikes.

The Tuesday semi-final match between Iran’s Persepolis and Qatar’s Al-Sadd in Tehran also received great coverage, as it can let the Iranian side advance to the finale of AFC Champions League for the first time in history.
