The top story in all papers today was the US Congressional report that revealed the Trump administration’s secret plan to sell nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia.

Several papers also covered US Senator Bernie Sanders’ declaration of his plan to once again run for president in 2020, and the positive implications his election may have for Iran.

The visit of Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, along with a high-ranking delegation of Iranian ministers, to China and their talks with top Chinese officials on expansion of strategic ties also remained a top story today.
