A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on July 4

Newspapers today covered the remarks made by the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a meeting with top Judiciary officials in Tehran.

The top story, however, was the historic deal between Iran and a consortium led by the French oil giant Total for the development of Phase 11 of South Pars, the world’s largest gas field.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s call for regional cooperation, particularly to fight against dust and sand storms gripping Iran and other countries, also received great coverage.
