A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on September 25

The top story in all papers today was the ongoing visit of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to New York, where he will attend and address the UN General Assembly.

Several papers focused on the possibility of a meeting between Rouhani and his American counterpart Donald Trump, at least during the UN Security Council on Wednesday. Reformist papers mostly called for Rouhani’s participation in the meeting, but conservatives expressed strong opposition to the meeting.

Also a top story was the recent meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in Algeria, during which the member states rejected Trump’s call for an increase in the body’s output.

The above issues, as well as many more, are highlighted in the following headlines and top stories:
